PolicyLab is pleased to announce our new Community Partnerships in Research Program funding 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 aims to promote 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. Additionally, this program aims to support 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 up to 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 up to a maximum of $40,000 for up to two years.
