NIH Grant Development Program

The Jeb. E Brooks School of Public Policy, Cornell Center for Health Equity (CCHEq), Cornell Population Center (CPC), and Cornell Center for Social Sciences are offering support to Cornell social science researchers interested in pursuing an NIH grant. This program focuses on mentoring social science researchers through the process of writing an NIH grant from concept to submission.

Cornell researchers across colleges and departments have a long record of securing NIH funding. The NIH offers RFPs that fit with many areas of social science, including psychology, sociology, communication, human development, policy, government, demography, and economics. NIH topics of interest extend broadly into the social sciences and include social determinants of health and well-being such as incarceration, racial discrimination, and social justice, along with population science on topics such as climate migration, aging, and mortality differentials.

APPLICATIONS ARE DUE NO LATER THAN January 30, 2023.

Talks at Twelve Series

Health equity is a widely touted but vexingly elusive goal. A significant body of academic research addresses research questions related to health equity, but the gap between research outputs and concrete social change is often yawning. How can academic research and robust public engagement be integrated to advance health equity?

This talk will draw on two ongoing engagement-centric research projects to shed light on this question. Bringing together insights from research on health policy and housing policy, Dr. Jamila Michener, associate professor of government and public policy and senior associate dean for public engagement at the Brooks School of Public Policy, will reflect on the perils, possibilities, and prospects of advancing health equity through community-engaged, policy-oriented scholarship. The talk will conclude by spotlighting the roles of two key institutions in supporting engaged research at Cornell: The Brooks School of Public Policy and the Cornell Center for Health Equity, where Michener is co-director.
