FY20 InCHIP-CHCACT Health Research Seed Grant

UConn’s Institute for Collaboration on Health, Intervention, and Policy (InCHIP) is offering seed grant funding for pilot work that will directly support a future external grant application in the area of community-engaged health research in Federally Qualified Health Centers.

This is a great opportunity to partner on research that addresses critical clinical and health systems issues.

There is at least one award of $15,000 for this seed grant competition. 

Funded projects must be consistent with InCHIP’s mission and address a health need prioritized by one or more FQHCs.

Eligible studies include research in health behavior or health policy conducted in an FQHC, using a participatory research framework and actively involving FQHC staff in the conceptualization, design, implementation, and/or evaluation.

In order to participate in the study, the FQHC must be a member of the Community Health Center Association of Connecticut (CHCACT).
