CEAR Core Call for Proposals

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.

Applications are due on Friday, March 1, 2024 at 5 p.m.

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 project conceptualization, design, implementation, and/or evaluation.

This year's priority theme is place-based research (related to geographic neighborhoods or communities) with a health equity focus. We are especially interested in receiving proposals under this theme but will also consider proposals on other topics.
