The University of Minnesota Medical School's Program in Health Disparities Research announces the 2009 Planning Grants in Health Disparities Research Program. These grants are designed to encourage community-initiated research and foster sustainable and long-term collaborative research between community-based organizations and academic researchers on projects focused on eliminating health disparities. This request for proposals is directed to community organizations in the state of Minnesota.

Some of our funding partners would like to support cancer-related research and those addressing health disparities in North Minneapolis, however all research topics in health disparities regardless of location within the state of Minnesota will be considered. Award decisions will be based on the scientific quality of each proposal and their potential for reducing health disparities.
