The Latino Center for Health is excited to announce the 2019 Small Grants Program, which provides funding to projects and partnerships benefiting Latino communities in Washington state.
Two levels of funding are currently available through the program:
1. Academic and community partners that are in the early stages of collaboration can apply for grants of up to $5,000 to continue their planning for future research projects
2. Proposals to conduct pilot research projects can apply for up to $15,000
Principal Investigators can be either staff at community organizations or researchers at academic institutions. Academic researchers serving as Principal Investigators must be at one of our affiliated institutions, the University of Washington and Heritage University.
To be considered for this award, you must first submit a 1-page letter of intent (LOI) using the template found at the end of the Request for Applications (RFA) document. This letter may be submitted by either the researcher or the community organization and should include background for the project, project goals, members of the project team, expected outcomes, and level of funding request. Please submit your letter of intent by May 1st, 2019 to latcntr@uw.edu with “Latino Center for Health Small Grants Program” in the subject title. Full applications must be received by June 7th, 2019.
Please refer to the RFA for full details on how to apply. Any questions may be directed to Daron Ryan, Research Coordinator, at dryan89@uw.edu or at 206-685-3583.
