In the past nine years, CTR-IN has funded several community-engaged projects. The purpose of this funding opportunity is to increase the number of community-engaged pilot projects across the CTR-IN network. This funding opportunity is particularly directed towards faculty who have already established relationships with community partners to engage in research with those communities. The goal of this community-engaged project is to generate key preliminary data and evidence of robust community-engaged research to support and inform a competitive “R-level” grant application to NIH or other extramural funding sources. Projects must involve community-engaged human subjects’ research; we do not support pre-clinical research. Final day for submission of Nominating Packets to Liz Torrez* December 1, 2021

Applications for the 2022 Johnson & Johnson WiSTEM²D Scholars Award opened August 30, 2021, and will close September 27, 2021. The WiSTEM²D Scholars Award Program aims to fuel the development of female STEM2D leaders and feed the STEM2D talent pipeline by awarding and sponsoring women at critical points in their research careers, in each of the STEM2D disciplines: Science, Technology, Engineering, Math, Manufacturing, and Design. The awards will fund one woman per discipline who has completed her advanced degree, who is working as an assistant professor, and who is not yet tenured at an accredited university or design institution.
