Campus and Community Health Disparities Pilot Research Grants

The goals of these grant awards are to facilitate interdisciplinary health disparities research at the University of Chicago and create a community of scholars and partners eliminating racial and socioeconomic disparities in health.

In 2005, the University of Chicago became the National Program Office for the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Finding Answers: Disparities Research for Change program. To support the mission of Finding Answers in reducing disparities, Chairman of Medicine and Lowell T. Coggeshall Professor of Medicine Joe G.N. “Skip” Garcia, MD, have provided funding for pilot grants in health disparities research at the University of Chicago and to develop an infrastructure and community of disparities researchers.

Up to $25,000 are available for University of Chicago faculty and PI eligible candidates (refer to the URA website for a listing of PI eligibility criteria).
