Research Grants
2021 Application Process
The Research Grants will support scholarly inquiry from outside the program to identify potential improvements to CHR&R tools to increase their strategic use and the impact of efforts to improve health and increase health equity.
This Call for Proposals (CFP) includes four specific focus areas, informed by Public Health Critical Race Praxis:
- Contemporary patterns of racial relations and spatial inequities using the CHR&R data and tools
- Knowledge production that supports understanding of the context of racial inequity and systemic racism for inclusion in CHR&R
- Conceptualization and measurement of spatial and racial differences that evolve CHR&R data sources, methods, tools, and narratives
- Actions to counter racial, spatial, and power inequities to strengthen the potential for CHR&R to contribute to change
The Brief Proposal Deadline is June 4, 2021. See the 2021 Call for Proposals for application details.
