CHHS Research Fellows
Program Announced

Are you interested in receiving financial support to conduct a pilot study that will lead to a submission of a grant proposal to an outside agency such as the National Institutes of Health, the National Science Foundation or the Health Resources and Services Administration?  If so, consider applying for the CHHS Research Fellows program.  This award provides between $7,000 and $12,000 per year for pilot studies. Funds can be used for the following:  faculty release time; additional personnel to collect and/or analyze data; the purchase of equipment, supplies, and instruments; or travel money to present research findings at a conference.  Fellows will also have the opportunity to work with a mentor who has been previously funded by a federal grant.

Although multidisciplinary collaborations across the university are encouraged, one of the investigators on each award must be a full time faculty member from the College of Health and Human Services. 

Applications are due December 15, 2008.

If you have questions about the Research Fellows program, contact Dr. Bonnie Raingruber, Director of the Center for Health and Human Services Research at walkerbj@csus.edu.
