Funding Opportunities - Center for Health Promotion and Disease Prevention

2023 HPDP Planning Grants: Request for Applications

Purpose

HPDP is accepting applications for one-year planning grants of up to $5,000 to help UNC faculty and other researchers conduct pilot projects in health promotion/disease prevention research. Researchers who currently affiliate with the Center as Research Fellows as well as other UNC researchers new to HPDP are encouraged to apply.

HPDP is interested in funding pilot projects that will lead to new applications for extramural research funding. It is expected that HPDP will administer future grant applications resulting from the pilot project, and HPDP will provide comprehensive grants management support for the researcher.

Application Information

Applications are currently closed and will open again in Spring 2024. Please check back for more details.
