The Academic/Community Partnership Conference Series grant (U13) allows investigators to conduct health disparities-related meetings, workshops, and symposia. The objectives of these meetings are to:
- Establish academic/community partnerships
- Identify community research priorities
- Develop long-term research agenda
Areas of focus for these partnerships may include one or more of the following community health issues:
- Infant mortality
- Violence prevention
- Childhood, adolescent, and/or adult obesity
- Health literacy
- Uterine fibroid tumors
- Pediatric and maternal HIV/AIDS prevention
- Techniques for outreach and information dissemination
Applicants for this U13 Program are expected to propose a series of meetings, workshops, or symposia designed to:
- Define the community or audience of interest
- Establish partnerships between academic institutions and the local community, including but not limited to schools and school communities
- Identify the community’s views of its health problems
- Develop a research agenda that aligns the community’s identified health problems and the grant-receiving institution’s research priorities
