Limited Submission Opportunity: American Heart Association Community-Driven Research Approaches: Partner Hub
OBJECTIVES:
To support new research model(s) with decision-making shared equally across collaborating organizations. Each submission should include two Co-Directors (one from a CBO and one from an academic institution) and will include two research projects. The two entities must have an established relationship and evidence of successful past collaboration.
CBOs and academic institutions will work in concert with the Community Engagement Resource Center (CERC) to optimize the implementation plan for the proposed project during the first year of the grant. The two Partner Hub projects must have the necessary research team, required infrastructure, and ability to recruit and retain a diverse group of study participants. All proposed projects must include study participants who are underserved regarding healthcare delivery.
The funder welcomes submissions for research focused on cardiovascular, stroke and brain health conditions; however, because the goal of this funding mechanism is broad understanding of innovative approaches to community-driven research, submissions proposing studies that do not focus on cardiovascular disease, stroke or brain health are also welcome.
FUNDING INFORMATION:
Up to $5 million over 5 years, including 10% IDC.
AHA anticipates awarding 3 Partner Hub grants to establish the Network. Funds should be relatively equally allocated to the academic institution and the CBO.
ELIGIBILITY RESTRICTIONS:
U.S.-based non-profit institutions, including medical, osteopathic and dental schools, veterinary schools, schools of public health, pharmacy schools, nursing schools, universities and colleges, public and voluntary hospitals and others that can demonstrate the ability to conduct the proposed research. Submissions will not be accepted for work with funding to be administered through any federal institution or work to be performed by a federal employee, except for VA employees.
30%+ of key personnel of the collaborative research team must be from groups that are under-represented in science and medicine. 50%+ of Trainees will be from groups that are under-represented in science and medicine.
An institution may submit only one Partner Hub proposal or one Community Engagement Resource Center proposal.
