The Prevention Research Centers program office at the CDC has released its list of 2018 Health Promotion and Disease Prevention Research Centers Special Interest Projects (SIPS). It is published as RFA-DP-18-002. It is anticipated that up to 5 awards will be made and will start September 30^th,  2018. 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 UI 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 People 2020 topic areas: Epilepsy; Cancer; and Oral Health.

Please contact Heidi Haines (heidi-haines@uiowa.edu),  Center Coordinator of the University of Iowa Prevention Research Center, if  you are interested in applying for any of these SIPs, or you have any questions.

Letter of Intent:  Due January 22, 2018 

Proposal Due date: March 1, 2018

Details vary across SIPS, so please read carefully.  

Thank you,  Heidi
