PolicyLab is looking for the next cohort of applicants for our Community Partnerships in Research Program! Applications are due Sept. 5, 2023, at 5 p.m. ET. Please note this opportunity is intended only for Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) researchers.
About the Program
Now in its second year, PolicyLab’s Community Partnerships in Research Program funds community-engaged research pilot grants. The program 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 their families.
Through two grant mechanisms, the program promotes capacity-building at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia for community-academic partnered research and the conduct of translational research using best practice in community-engaged research methods, while supporting the next generation of health equity researchers.
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. Partnership Development Awards will be supported for a maximum of $7,000 for one year.
- 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. Joint Pilot Project Awards will be supported for a maximum of $40,000 for up to two years.
