RFA-Announcement of a Limited Competition for the Academic-Community Partnership Conference Series (U13): -This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) solicits NIH Cooperative Agreement Conference (U13) applications from current Extramural Associates Research Development Award (EARDA) awardees to develop and engage active and meaningful academic-community partnerships to conduct health disparities-related meetings, workshops and symposia. -The purposes of these meetings/workshops/symposia will be to identify community partners and community research priorities, and to develop a long-term research agenda and subsequent intervention projects. It is expected that the academic-community partnerships developed through this initiative will lead to grant applications for the support of research projects designed to meet identified community needs. These projects can focus on one or more of the following five areas: Infant mortality; childhood, adolescent, and/or adult obesity; literacy; fibroid tumors; and techniques for outreach and information dissemination as the focal points for collaborative research projects on topics relating to the community health needs for specified population subgroups, i.e., children, adolescents, and women. -Activities relating to these goals will be accomplished through an ongoing series of conferences, meetings, seminars, workshops, focus groups, etc., where the academic and community partners work together to develop a strong working relationship and a set of research goals focused on community priorities in one or a combination of the areas of infant mortality, fibroid tumors, childhood, adolescent, and/or adult obesity, literacy, and/or techniques for outreach and information dissemination.
