Health and Well-Being Grants

Limited Submissions

Note: This is not a limited submission and is being announced as a courtesy only. Multiple applications can be sent, but only one award will be made per institution.

Despite steady improvement in overall health outcomes over the past decade, many under-resourced communities continue to experience substantial health disparities.

  • Increased access to health care.
  • Increased access to primary care.
  • Increased health literacy, the degree to which an individual has the capacity to obtain, communicate, process, and understand basic mental and behavioral health information and services to make appropriate health decisions and follow directions for treatment.

The Cigna Foundation recognizes that this is a broad topic, therefore grants should address at least one if not more than one of the following programmatic areas, specifically in ethnic minority and underserved populations:

  • Suitable care that provides access to mental health services and addresses depression, stress, anxiety, and promotes resiliency and mental well-being.
  • Programs addressing the shortage of mental health care professionals.
  • Cultural competency and awareness training for healthcare providers that addresses the stigma associated with seeking mental health care.

Inquiries and Contact Information

Investigators who identify a grant, award or fellowship program that restricts the number of applications that can be submitted from an Institution should immediately contact their Chairperson, Associate Dean for Research (or Dean, if no ADR) and the Office of Research (see below) if they intend to prepare a response. Failure to do so, or to meet the deadlines for submission of pre-proposal, will preclude submission of the application through the Office of Sponsored Programs.
