The Center for Patient Family and Community Engagement in Chronic Care Management (CENTRIC) has released a request for proposals to fund one pilot project in fall 2017 in the amount of $50,000.
The purpose of the pilot grant is to support research in any area that will support patient, family and community engagement in management of chronic conditions. The award, which functions as a “seed grant,” is designed to lay the foundation for larger requests to funding sources external to the University of Nebraska.
An interdisciplinary team should be used. The team should consist of a College of Nursing full-time faculty member as principal investigator or co-PI, and include members from two other departments/colleges, in addition to a statistician. The focus of the research should be a highly significant topic and use technology and interventions.
CENTRIC is requesting a letter of intent (maximum of two pages), to include:
- project title;
- principal investigator
- co-investigator(s);
- mentor(s);
- participating institution(s);
- study aim(s);
- hypotheses;
- methods (brief overview of design, sample, measures, statistical analysis plan);
- a statement addressing how the project advances self-management in chronic care; and
- the author’s NIH biosketch.
The due date for letters of intent is Sept. 26 or sooner.
Those invited to submit full applications will be notified no later than Oct. 17. The RFA and requirements for invitees can be found on the CENTRIC website . Applicants should email letters of intent and NIH bio sketches as a single PDF document to CENTRIC.
Solicited applications will be due Nov. 20.
