Grant Opportunity: Trailblazer Planning Grant

The Indiana CTSI CHeP Trailblazer Planning Grant supports development of communityuniversity partnerships to improve health, examine social determinants of health (SDoH), or enhance health equity to result in future collaborative research proposals. The award can be used to establish new partnerships or to strengthen/expand existing communityuniversity partnerships to solve critical health problems affecting Hoosiers. This award will not fund research pilot projects; instead, it will fund activities to help develop partnerships between organizations that have potential to later engage in joint research projects to address health, health equity or SDoH. The expected outcome of this award is the development of a future research proposal for opportunities such as the Trailblazer Award. Examples of partnership development activities we are interested in funding include meetings, conferences, travel expenses, and quality improvement assessments. There must be at least one university-based partner and one community-based partner. All partners must currently work in an Indiana-based institution or organization. Awards will be up to $5,000.
