FY19 InCHIP-CHCACT Health Research Seed Grant
Funding Opportunity Announcement
Letters of intent due by April 26, 2019
Full proposal applications due by May 31, 2019
Description: UConn’s Institute for Collaboration on Health, Intervention, and Policy (InCHIP) is offering a pilot grant program that promotes community-engaged health research in one or more Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHC) with reciprocal benefit to the FQHC(s), their patients, and the participating UConn faculty. This represents a unique opportunity for an FQHC(s) and UConn faculty to partner to develop sustainable, collaborative, streamlined, and mutually beneficial efforts to identify and address critical clinical and health systems issues. InCHIP is co-sponsoring this seed grant with the Community Health Center Association of Connecticut (CHCACT), an organization that has connections to FQHCs across the state. We are finalizing a process to pair UConn researchers and FQHC collaborators. If you have not yet formalized a research collaboration with an FQHC, you are still welcome to submit a LOI. In that case, you would work with InCHIP to identify the FQHC partner(s) before submitting the full proposal application.
