The purpose of the NIH Partners in Research Program is to support two-year pilot and/or feasibility studies of innovative activities designed to improve public understanding of biomedical and behavioral research, develop strategies for promoting collaboration between scientists and the community to improve the health of the public, and to identify the conditions (e.g., settings and approaches) that will enhance the effectiveness of such activities. The long-term objectives of this initiative are: (1) to raise the level of public awareness and understanding of biomedical and behavioral research related to health, the role of the National Institutes of Health, the role the public can play in the research enterprise, and the value of public funding; (2) to increase scientists’ awareness of the importance of public engagement; and (3) to provide a menu of techniques for researchers and communities to implement to facilitate the participation of lay communities in the health research endeavor.
The Partners in Research Program will call for partnerships between a science/research institution and a community organization. Eligibility will be limited to domestic institutions.
This RFA is expected to be published in September 2007.
