Catalytic Seed Grants Available Now |
|
The Einstein-Montefiore ICTR invites faculty members to request seed grants to generate data for the development of new extramural grant applications. Proposal budgets are limited up to $25,000 for one year, with funding to start on or about March 1, 2022. Projects supported under this program must fit the definition of clinical or translational research. Any CTSA funds awarded must be expended by 2/28/2023.
Applications can now be submitted online through our portal on a rolling basis. Projects proposed must be directly clinical or translational research in nature. Applications must fall into one of three categories:
1) Learning Healthcare System and/or Implementation Science
2) Health Equity and Health Disparities-related research
3) Projects that propose research not funded by an active career development award.
Projects that propose direct involvement by community organizations or demonstrate significant involvement by specific community members will be given priority for funding.

ICTR Collaborates to Tackle Vaccine Skepticism in Florida and Beyond |
|
The Einstein-Montefiore ICTR is working with 7 other institutions across the country to boost Covid-19 and influenza vaccination rates in parts of the country where vaccination rates are low and vaccine skepticism is high. Led by the University of Florida, the "Our Community, Our Health" program is reaching community members through health fairs, mobile health vehicles and primary care providers. The leaders from the seven institutions who are funded through the PANDEMIC grant (Program to Alleviate National Disparities in Ethnic and Minority Immunizations in the Community) are all leaders of their institution's CTSA (Clinical and Translational Science Award) community engagement program. Dr. Hal Strelnick leads our local community engagement program at Einstein-Montefiore. To learn more about this initiative, click here.
