Collaborative and Multidisciplinary Pilot Research (CaMPR) General and Integrating Special Populations (ISP) Pilot Award The CaMPR and CaMPR-ISP program focuses on the innovative assembly of new teams to gather preliminary data to address unresolved clinical, translational and public health problems with novel approaches informed by interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary collaboration. Projects that use a community-engaged approach to research are encouraged (CECR).

Community-Based Participatory Research Scholars and Awards Program The Community Based Participatory Research Scholars and Awards Program is an innovative training and pilot funding opportunity for Columbia University faculty and administrators of not-for-profit organizations serving Upper Manhattan and The Bronx. The CBPR Program is designed to foster community-engaged research by giving participants structured training and practical experience in CBPR methodology. Up to five academic-community dyads are selected for the course. Academic-community co-instructors teach the CBPR course to model the partnership process. Upon completion of the training course, dyads are eligible to apply for a one-year CBPR pilot award of $30,000.
