CCHEq Research Pilot Project Awardees

Last Spring, the Cornell Center for Health Equity (CCHEq) was pleased to announce a funding opportunity for a new cycle of research pilot project grants. The purpose of this grant was to enhance and develop innovative research practices related to health equity. This year we were particularly interested in proposals that center on perspectives from historically marginalized and oppressed populations. During this grant cycle, three projects were selected for funding in amounts ranging up to $50,000. We are delighted to highlight this year's CCHEq Research Pilot Project grant recipients.
