Now in its second year, this program—developed alongside community partners and intended for Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia researchers—seeks to promote health equity in the Greater Philadelphia area by building and deepening community-academic partnerships for research targeting health improvements among children and families.

Two grant mechanisms are available in this program:

• Partnership Development Awards provide seed funding to support activities related to the development of new or emerging community-academic research partnerships. Partnership Development Awards will be supported for a maximum of $7,000 for one year.
• Joint Pilot Project Awards are geared towards established community-academic partnerships seeking funds for a well-defined research project that may produce preliminary data or programs for future competitive grant applications. Joint Pilot Project Awards will be supported for a maximum of $40,000 for up to two years.
