Description
This program, managed by Health Resources in Action, advances research on human diseases by supporting innovative pilot studies led by early stage, mentored investigators. Emphasizing clinical, patient-oriented, epidemiological, behavioral, and health services research, the award aims to foster the transition of postdoctoral and clinical investigators toward independent research careers. Special encouragement is given to projects addressing social determinants of health and health inequities, and to applicants from backgrounds underrepresented in science. The program is open to researchers based at nonprofit academic, medical, or research institutions in Connecticut, New Jersey, or Rhode Island.
