Now Accepting Applications for PolicyLab’s Community Partnerships in Research Program

PolicyLab is looking for the next cohort of applicants for our Community Partnerships in Research Program! Letters of Intent are due Aug. 23, 2024, at 5 p.m. ET, and applications are due Sept. 13, 2024, at 5 p.m. ET.

Launched in 2022, this program—developed alongside community partners and intended for Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) researchers—seeks to promote health equity in the Greater Philadelphia area by building and deepening community-academic partnerships for research targeting health improvements among children and families. 

Two grant mechanisms are available in this program: 

  • Partnership Development Awards provide seed funding to support activities related to the development of new or emerging community-academic research partnerships. 
  • Joint Pilot Project Awards are geared towards established community-academic partnerships who seek funds for a well-defined research project that may produce preliminary data or programs for future competitive grant applications. 

We are excited to announce that Policylab will be joined in support this year with partnerships from the CHOP Cancer Center, the Health Equity Research Methods (HERMes) Initiative, and the CHOP Clinical and Translational Science Award (CTSA). We thank our partners for their support and commitment to advancing the health and well-being of the communities we serve.
