University of Pennsylvania – Institute for Translational Medicine and Therapeutics (ITMAT) Funding

CEAR CTSA Pilot Grant Program The Community Engagement and Research (CEAR) core of the Institute for Translational Medicine and Therapeutics at the University of Pennsylvania is sponsoring a pilot grant program to fund research with public and community health relevance. The CEAR Core is seeking proposals that foster community-based research, especially studies that use a participatory framework. This includes research conducted in community settings or using a participatory research framework that actively involves community stakeholders in the conceptualization, design, implementation, and/or evaluation. “Community” is defined broadly to include populations in neighborhoods and organizations, including health care settings.
