CCH faculty Namratha Kandula and collaborator Alka Kanaya recently spoke with JAMA Medical News about cardiovascular health and risk factors among people with South Asian ancestry—and the importance of recognizing that the risk factors can vary in different South Asian groups. They discuss Dr. Kandula's NIH funded research, MASALA, SAHELI, and SAATH studies.
Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI) is pleased to share the preannouncement for a new funding opportunity, Engagement Award: Building Capacity for Small Organizations to Engage in PCOR/CER. This funding announcement will support two-year projects that help small organizations and their communities build capacity and skills to take part in the patient-centered outcomes research/comparative clinical effectiveness research (PCOR/CER) process.
The Engagement Award Program is committed to understanding and responding to the needs of the wide variety of organizations and stakeholders interested in building their capacity to engage in PCOR/CER. This funding opportunity will not only support small organizations in developing the capacity to be full partners in research, but also will provide a supported peer collaborative environment and technical assistance through a learning network during the project period.

The full announcement and online application system will open July 19.
Full proposals are due January 24, 2023 by 5pm (ET) [By invitation only].
One way that the Center for Community Health (CCH) is helping translate research findings into practice more quickly is through Stakeholder-Academic Resource Panels (ShARPs)
