Description
The Opportunity Grant Program is administered by the Wisconsin Partnership Program at the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health. It provides start-up support to rapidly establish time-critical, high-profile, high-impact research and education projects addressing Wisconsin’s most pressing and complex health challenges.
The program prioritizes highly innovative, state-of-the-art work that can transform a field, apply established ideas in novel ways, or challenge traditional practice. Supported projects may involve nontraditional partners, including disproportionately impacted communities, or benefit from rapid funding to advance an area significantly. Projects should address knowledge gaps or scientific opportunities, advance novel research methods, or enhance education of the future health workforce, while improving health, fostering healthier communities, and advancing health equity.
