Pilot Study Information

The Pilot Studies provide funding to faculty and post-doctoral fellows at the University of Washington and the University of Hawaii at Manoa Schools of Nursing. The Center awards $10,000 for a one year study directed toward better understanding or reducing health disparities and developing methods for culturally sensitive interventions to eliminate health disparities.

Eligible investigators include:
1. A new investigator (faculty or post-doctoral fellows at UW or UMH Schools of Nursing) who has not been a Principal Investigator in the past, or who is not currently funded by a DHHS research project grant (e.g., RO1 or R15);

2. An established investigator (faculty or post-doctoral fellows at UW or UMH Schools of Nursing) who wishes to develop skill and expertise in conducting minority health/health disparities research, and for whom this area represents a clear and distinct departure from their ongoing research interests.
