Examples of work we are interested in funding include substance use/misuse, obesity prevention, maternal and infant mortality, chronic diseases and health care challenges, 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, etc.) and/or connections to statewide health initiatives.

    Eligible projects will propose to: (1) implement exploratory research that has the potential to identify or reduce health inequities, or impact SDoH; (2) evaluate a program that has the potential to improve health equity or impact SDOH; or (3) implement and do a preliminary evaluation of a health-related program. Health equity, briefly defined, is “achieved when every person has the opportunity to ‘attain his or her full health potential’ and no one is ‘disadvantaged from achieving this potential because of social position or other socially determined circumstances’” (CDC). Projects that propose to achieve their objectives by changing (or demonstrating the potential to change) policy, systems, and/or the environment are encouraged. (See FAQ page for more on health equity.)

    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.
