RFA

This new Child Health Pilot Grant Program from Harvard Catalyst seeks to engage basic, translational, and clinical investigators from across the Harvard community in innovative, interdisciplinary research. The long-term goal is to generate new insights about conditions and diseases of childhood and their long-term consequences for adult health. In this 2012 RFA, we are seeking innovative applications that address one of three themes related to key gaps in knowledge and possible approaches to addressing these gaps. The Innovative Technologies to Advance Child Health theme focuses on the unique needs of children that are often overlooked in technology development. Health Systems and the Community focuses on research investigating ways that children and families receive services and the financing of those services, as well as the influence of community contexts in health and development across all stages of childhood. Life-course, Development, and Transitions focuses on the many transitions children make as they grow and develop, and the developmental origins of adult disease. The proposed project must be collaborative - single investigator projects are not responsive to the RFA. Inter-disciplinary and inter-institutional collaborations are encouraged. Please see the RFA for more information.
