Health Equity Research Network on Community-Driven Research Approaches
There are two (2) funding opportunities through this award mechanism; an individual may apply for only one of these opportunities. Also, UW may submit one application for either #1 or #2, but not both.
1. Health Equity Research Network (HERN) on Community-Driven Research Approaches – Partner Hub
Required pre-proposals due by Tuesday, March 26, 2024.
Full proposal deadline is 5/14/2024 with the OSP deadline of 5/3/2024.
Award amount: $5M for Hub total.
The key outcome of this HERN is the establishment of new models for community-driven research that can be scaled and used as a foundation for shifting norms, paradigms and practices within all domains of health research. Each Partner Hub must have two research projects and be represented by a community-based organization and an academic institution. The collaborations between and among the Partner Hubs build momentum around both systems change and knowledge of a particular issue, making it an ideal mechanism to meet the interrelated objectives.

Award amount: $3.5M
