The Latino Center for Health (LCH) at the University of Washington provides leadership to promote the health and well-being of Latinos in Washington State across the lifespan through innovative community-engaged research partnerships and culturally responsive professional development for students and faculty. To support our mission statement, we’ve introduced the Small Grants Program! The purpose of the program is to support academic-community-partnered research.
We are happy to highlight the 2022 Small Grants Program. 2022’s Request for Funding Applications (RFA) theme was The effects of COVID-19 on the health and well-being of Latinos in Washington State. Applicants may request up to $15,000.
The Small Grants Program will not be taking applications for the 2023 cycle. Stay tuned for future key dates, application instructions, and announcements by visiting our website!
