The Prevention Research Centers program office at the CDC has released its list of 2016 Special Interest Projects (SIPS). It is published as RFA-DP-16-006. It is anticipated that up to 8 awards will be made and will start September 30, 2016. These funding opportunities are available only to the Prevention Research Centers in the US. The PI role is not limited to PRC Directors, but can be any investigator at that institution – so, anyone at the UIowa may apply and the funds are passed through the PRC.

This RFA will provide supplemental funding to Prevention Research Centers (PRCs) to design, test, and disseminate effective applied public health prevention research strategies to include behavioral interventions, environmental or system-wide solutions, and strategies that address major causes of disease and disability. Research strategies align with public health priorities such as the Healthy 2020 topic areas: Cancer and Oral Health.

UIowa applicants are asked to contact Heidi Haines heidi-haines@uiowa.edu, Center Coordinator of the PRC if interested in applying for any of these SIPs, or with any questions.

Letter of Intent due: January 21, 2016 

Proposal due: February 22, 2016

Details vary across SIPS, so please read carefully.
