The Pitt Innovation Challenge The Pitt Innovation Challenge (PInCh®) is seeking your bold solution to a challenging health problem. We encourage proposals from any discipline and on any topic that impacts health. Ideas can span the spectrum of health and healthcare, including disease prevention, diagnostics, treatments, interventions, predictive solutions, patient care, provider and patient tools, and community programs. We encourage projects that create new connections within the academic community, and among universities and community organizations.
Wordout Community Research Dissemination Challenge The Community PARTners Core at the Clinical and Translational Science Institute (CTSI) is now accepting applications for the WORDOUT Community Research Dissemination Challenge. WORDOUT is an exciting program that matches researchers from the University of Pittsburgh with local community organizations to help get the “word out” about the latest in research dissemination. We are once again matching community organizations with researchers to work together to both share lived experiences of folks in the community, and think about creative ways to disseminate research.
