The ITHS offer Academic Community Partnership Awards to jump-start partnerships between academic and community investigators in new projects that investigate a community-based health problem, disseminate evidence-based health innovations into practice, target health promotion or prevention, or examine ways to enhance or implement sustainable health programs in community settings. The award offers community organizations, whether primarily health-related or not, opportunities to initiate and help organize and lead biomedical research projects addressing important health needs that they identify in the communities that they serve. We especially encourage applications for projects that test interventions or innovations to improve health in community clinical settings. The RFA provides details regarding eligibility, the application process, and review criteria.
