The Alliance for Research in Chicagoland Communities (ARCC) & Northwestern University Clinical & Translational Sciences Institute (NUCATS) in partnership with Northwestern Memorial Hospital will fund ARCC 2021 Research Pilot Seed Grants that support the development of partnerships and projects that engage communities and stakeholders most impacted by health inequities in research collaboration with Northwestern academic teams.
