Description
The Commonwealth Health Research Board (CHRB), a Virginia state board, funds research with the potential to maximize human health benefits for Virginians. Its scope includes medical and biomedical research into the causes and cures of disease, as well as research on health services and the delivery of health care. Behavioral and other nonbiomedical projects must have a health-related research component; these are not training grants.
CHRB supports new research and the expansion or continuation of existing work. It encourages innovative projects, collaboration among Virginia institutions or organizations, undergraduate student involvement, and work that can help investigators secure additional federal or nonprofit funding. First-time CHRB applicants and junior faculty investigators are also encouraged.
