Funding Opportunity: Promoting Health Equity Research in Southeastern NC

The Promoting Health Equity Research pilot award is currently open for applications. This award, sponsored by a joint committee of research leaders from Novant Health, UNC Health, and UNC School of Medicine, seeks to support research projects that broadly address strategies for reducing barriers and promoting optimal outcomes for historically marginalized populations through a lens of access, value, and equity.

Specifically, projects should promote research to understand and improve health equity challenges relevant to the community in Southeastern North Carolina. Applicants must have at least one Co-PI from NH-NHRMC/Novant Health Medical Group Coastal Region or affiliated practices, and one Co-PI from UNC SOM.

Awards will provide up to $50,000 in funding for a 12-month project period.
