Community Health Partnerships Trailblazer Award
SUBMISSION DEADLINE: June 1, 2022
Indiana CTSI Community Health Partnerships is soliciting proposals for collaborative, community-engaged research projects focused on topics that have potential to improve health equity in Indiana. Examples of work we are interested in funding include substance misuse, tobacco use, obesity prevention, infant mortality, cardiovascular disease and diabetes, as well as disparities in rural areas. This RFA encourages and prioritizes projects that have outlined a sustainability plan using existing Indiana CTSI infrastructure (i.e., Connections IN Health, Monon Collaborative) and/or connections to statewide health initiatives.
Eligible projects will propose to either: 1) implement research that has the potential to identify or reduce health inequities; or 2) evaluate an existing health-related program that has the potential to improve health equity. Projects that propose to achieve their objectives by changing (or demonstrating the potential to change) policy, systems, and/or the environment are encouraged.
There must be both 1) a university lead and 2) a community lead for the project, both partners must currently work in an Indiana-based institution or organization.
Funding may be requested up to $25,000 over two years

Community Health Partnerships (CHeP) Trailblazer Planning Grant
SUBMISSION DEADLINE: August 1, 2022
The Indiana CTSI Community Health Partnerships is soliciting proposals for the development of community-university partnerships to improve health, examine social determinants of health, or enhance health equity to result in future collaborative research proposals. The award can be used to establish new partnerships or to strengthen/expand existing community-university partnerships to solve critical health problems affecting Indiana residents. This award will not fund research pilot projects; instead, it will fund activities that help develop partnerships between organizations that have potential to later engage in joint research projects to address health, health equity or social determinants of health. The expected outcome of this award is the development of a future research proposal for opportunities such as the Community Health Partnerships Trailblazer Award. Examples of partnership development activities we are interested in funding include meetings, conferences, travel expenses, and quality improvement assessments.
Awards will be up to $5,000 for one year to allow for partnership growth and collaborative grant proposal development.

Collaboration in Translational Research (CTR)
SUBMISSION DEADLINE: August 1, 2022
The objective of the CTSI Collaboration in Translational Research (CTR) pilot grant program is to 1) foster and encourage collaborations across the CTSI partner institutions and to 2) initiate or continue translational research projects that have very strong and immediate potential to develop into larger, externally funded research programs or generate novel intellectual property (IP). The application will be evaluated on the quality of the proposed science as well as the application’s strength in clarifying the plan for leveraging the award toward the achievement of the two primary CTR objectives. Significant weight will be afforded in the review process for collaborative arrangements that have the potential to develop into a long-term partnership; one that uniquely positions the individuals to further their existing, or new, fields of research.
Applications to this program are limited to a total of $75,000 and are 24 months (2 years) in duration. Proposed projects should have at least two (or more) principal investigators / collaborators with equal contribution, from at least two of the six sponsoring affiliates for this program. Sponsoring affiliates include:
IU School of Medicine (IUSM)
IUPUI (non-IUSM)
IU Bloomington
Purdue University (West Lafayette)
University of Notre Dame
Indiana Biosciences Research Institute (IBRI)
