Research, Funding, and Awards

  • Community-Based Participatory Research Program

    The Office of the Vice President for Research (OVPR) would like to announce the National Institute on Minority Health and Health Disparities (NIMHD) Community-Based Participatory Research (CBPR) Program.  The CBPR program is a limited submission, and as such the OVPR will be conducting an internal screening process.

    The overarching goals of the NIMHD CBPR Program are to enhance community capacity in research for which they will directly benefit; support collaborative intervention projects addressing health disparities; and accelerate the translation of findings into improved health and health outcomes.  The purpose of this Funding Opportunity Announcement is to support promising community interventions using CBPR principles and approaches aimed at reducing and eventually eliminating health disparities.

    Limited Submission

    Because only one application per institution can be submitted for this program, an internal screening process is required.  If you are considering submitting an application for the program, an on-line Notification of Intent to Submit must be completed by the requested Intent to Submit Deadline. 

    When submitting pre-proposals for the internal screening process, be sure to check the Guidelines for updates. Pre-proposals not adhering to these guidelines and instructions will be returned.
