Grants are available for a training program leading to either a masters or doctoral degree.
The competition deadline is Friday, September 8, 2000. Projects must be both accountable and relevant to the community in which they are based, develop community health information and knowledge that will be applicable to others with similar interests and ensure dissemination of outcomes to policy makers, program managers, end-users and other communities. Operating Grants for New Researchers - Institutional program operating grants are available to assist new investigators who are developing an independent research program. Applications will no longer be accepted from research associates unless they can demonstrate that they will receive an appointment at an assistant professor level or higher by the competition's effective start date for successful applications. Operating Grants for Established Researchers - Institutional program operating grants are available to provide seed funding to help established researchers pursue new research directions.
