BUDGET FORM

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. – The West Virginia Clinical and Translational Science Institute (WVCTSI) has released a request for applications for the Health Outcomes and Policy Evaluation (HOPE) Funding Opportunity. The goal of this Request for Applications (RFA) is to support up to three demonstration projects that will address health in West Virginia through use of evidence-based strategies in collaboration with public or private health care entities.

This opportunity is an open competition where applicants can request up to $30,000 in funding, which must be utilized over twelve months. The HOPE Program provides organization and infrastructure to health outcomes researchers throughout the state of West Virginia and serves as a catalyst for successful future external funding by increasing program competitiveness  

Submitted proposals should focus on WVCTSI’s thematic areas of cancer, neuroscience, obesity and metabolic disease, cardiovascular disease and stroke, emerging epidemics in Appalachia (e.g., substance abuse), or the risk factors associated with those areas. Proposals should focus on innovative strategies or evidence-based interventions/ practices to help improve the quality and/or the effectiveness of health care delivery in West Virginia.

Applications are due by May 9, 2016 by 5:00 p.m. EST.

Applications must be submitted via email as a single PDF document to Wesley Kimble (wkimble@hsc.wvu.edu) on or before the deadline date.

Funding for these projects is supported by the Claude Worthington Benedum Foundation (#20140172).
