The Meharry–Vanderbilt Community Engaged Research Core (CERC) invites proposals for activities that promote ongoing, mutually beneficial, health-oriented research partnerships between community organizations and academic researchers. Both academic and community partners are expected to contribute to the development of the proposal.
Applicants may propose a community-engaged research project (funding up to $10,000) or a partnership-development project (funding up to $2,500) that enables the partners to define and pursue an identified research agenda. The long-term goals of the research partnerships supported by mini-grants should be one or more of the following: (1) to improve community health outcomes; (2) to increase access to health and health-related services; (3) to enhance quality and effectiveness of health interventions; and/or (4) to inform future health policy.
