2022 Community Partnership Building Grant
New Application Deadline: Friday, January 7, 2022 at 5 pm EST
The Cornell Center for Health Equity is pleased to request applications for 6-12 month community partnership building grants. We are able to support up to four project teams that aim to establish or strengthen collaborative partnerships that will enable meaningful involvement of community stakeholders in health equity research.
The purpose of this funding opportunity is to form teams comprised of scientists, scholars, and community partners from across our Ithaca and New York City campuses with the overall goal of enhancing collaboration. It seeks to enhance capacity to develop innovative research practice partnerships broadly related to health equity. This year we are particularly interested in proposals that look at health equity from a public health perspective, including research related to systems and process improvements, and proposals that explore the role of racial justice in achieving health equity. Any topic that seeks to understand the sources of health disparities and how to overcome them is appropriate.
The Community Partnership Building RFA and application template may be found on the Cornell Center for Health Equity website, click here to access. For additional information on this opportunity please contact Grace Figuereo, Administrative Specialist for the Cornell Center for Health Equity, at grf7002@med.cornell.edu.

Center to Improve Chronic disease Outcomes through Multi-level and Multi-generational approaches Unifying Novel Interventions and Training for health EquitY (The COMMUNITY Center)
The COMMUNITY Center of NYC brings together an interdisciplinary team of investigators, health care providers, and community stakeholders around NYC through multi-institutional partnerships (Columbia, Cornell, NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital, Physician Affiliate Group of New York) to reduce health disparities in multiple chronic diseases. We focus on cardiovascular disease and cancer, and their risk factors, as they are the two leading causes of death and that share common social context, etiological pathways, risk factors, and management strategies. The center is led by the multi-PI team of Mary Beth Terry (Columbia), Daichi Simbo (Columbia), Olajide Williams (Columbia), Elizabeth Cohn (Hunter), and Erica Phillips (Cornell). Drs. Samprit Banerjee, Ruthe Matheson, and Monika Safford are funded co-investigators in the administrative and investigator development cores which will expand Cornell's capacity in training investigators interested in addressing adults living with multiple chronic conditions. In late winter a new RFA for pilot projects funded by the COMMUNITY center will be announced. The COMMUNITY center is one of 11 centers funded across the country, and one of only two funded in the Northeast. Total funding over the next five years is approximately $24 million.
