Academic-Community Partnership Conference Series (U13) PAR-09-092
Program Summary
The Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD), Division of Special Populations, invites applications from eligible institutions to conduct health disparities-related workshops, meetings, and symposia with community organizations. The purpose of this project is for NICHD to assess the benefit of bringing community organizations and academic institutions/organizations together to identify opportunities for Community-Based Participatory Research (CBPR). The terms “community organizations” is defined, for the purposes of this award, as organizations that 1) have a documented (e.g. mission statement) interest in improving the health of the relevant community and 2) have a history (3 years or more) of serving the health needs and interests of the relevant community. They may include (but are not limited to) public schools, community-based organizations, faith-based organizations, and/or advocacy groups. The purposes of these partnerships (e.g. workshops/symposia/meetings) are to identify important community partners, establish community research priorities, and to develop a long-term CBPR agenda. It is expected that the academic-community partnerships developed through this initiative will lead to grant applications for the support of CBPR projects designed to meet identified community needs. These projects can focus on one or more of the following areas: infant mortality; SIDS; techniques for outreach and information dissemination; pediatric and maternal HIV/AIDS prevention, childhood, adolescent, and/or adult obesity; health literacy; uterine fibroid tumors; and violence prevention.
UIC may submit only one application in response to this solicitation. UIC may submit a resubmission application, but such application must include an Introduction addressing the previous peer review critique (Summary Statement). See new NIH policy on resubmission (amended) applications (NOT-OD-09-003, NOT-OD-09-016).
