We have great outcomes data
available
Opportunities Exist To Study Areas Such as:
Best Methods in Recruitment or
Best Methods for Education or

• Summer SEE Camps, or
• Early clinical Experiences.
Areas Where You
Currently Work
We are recognized as a leader for
our International programs

• Environmental
• Measurable (new) Methods to Improve Global Health
• Educational benefits of these experiences?
• We know it but no one has measured it
• Mentors:

HRSA Health care delivery Examples:
 mental health or substance abuse treatment services in rural areas;
 rural-urban comparisons;
 the impact of changes in rural health care on individuals, families and
communities;
 market changes and how they affect rural health care systems; and
 changes in rural health systems on rural economies.

PROGRAM GRANTS
A HRSA EXAMPLE (Was due Nov. 14):
• Rural Health Care Services Outreach Grant Program (Outreach Program). ORHP’s Outreach
Program is a community-based program targeted to improve outreach and service delivery in
local and regional rural communities.
• The goals for the Outreach Program are the following:
1. Expand the delivery of health care services to include new and enhanced
services exclusively in rural communities
2. Deliver health care services through a strong consortium, in which every
consortium member organization is actively involved and engaged in the planning and
delivery of services
3.
Utilize and/or adapt an evidence-based or promising practice model(s) in the
delivery of health care services
4.
Improve population health, demonstrate health outcomes and sustainability
Requires a Consortia Model of 3 or more entities
Rural Appalachia will have an advantage
Could be done in partnership with our rural hospitals
Just Needed a Champion
PROGRAM GRANTS
HRSA – Maternal Child Health (due Dec. 5th)
• The R40 MCH Research Program supports applied research relating to
maternal and child health services, including services for children with
special health care needs.
• Research should demonstrate a substantial contribution to advancement of
the current knowledge pool, and when used in States and communities
should result in health and health services improvements.
• Outcomes expected to strengthen and expand Affordable Care Act (ACA)
implementation.
• This research is meant to drive policy and service delivery of preventive
and early intervention services for application in health care delivery or
develop new knowledge on the impact of insurance coverage on health
promotion.
Example of Research from VCOM and a Partnering Core Hospital
• Example: Danville – Pregnancy and High Incidence of Cardiomyopathy
LARGER PROGRAM GRANTS
HRSA Grant Program to Help Rural Providers With
Quality Improvement (last released 2013)
• New release likely
• Education and Implementation – Residencies to
improve quality outcomes
• Areas such as: COPD, CHF, Diabetes, Cardiovascular
Care, Renal Failure, Sepsis,
Quality Improvement in Patient Care
Clinical and Education
Examples of Industry Funders:
• Aircast Foundation – Orthopedic Research
• AstraZeneca, patient–focused organizations dedicated to
disease awareness and prevention, research and
education, access to healthcare, and more. (would need to
include our partners – Medical school and Hospitals for
instance)
INDUSTRY GRANTS
Bristol-Myers Squibb Foundation
The Foundation's activities support a broad range of programs that address important
health matters and educational issues around the world. Among the Foundation's
major initiatives are the Unrestricted Biomedical Research Grants Program, which
provides no–strings–attached research grants in the areas of cancer, cardiovascular,
infectious and metabolic diseases, neuroscience and nutrition.
Burroughs Wellcome Fund
The Burroughs Wellcome Fund's overall grant-making strategy is to support
biomedical scientists at the beginning of their careers and to make grants in areas of
science that are poised for significant advance and but currently undervalued and
underfunded. Within this overall strategy, the Fund makes grants within five focus
areas: Basic Biomedical Sciences, Infectious Disease, Interfaces in Science, Science
Education, Translational Research
Industry Paths for
Scientific Research
CONFERENCE FUNDING (NIH and AHRQ)
• Examples of wording:
• This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) encourages Research
Conference Grant (R13) applications to conduct health disparities-related
meetings, workshops, and symposia.
• The purpose of the Academic-Community Partnership Conference Series is
to bring together academic institutions and community organizations to
identify opportunities for reducing health disparities through the use of
Community-Based Participatory Research (CBPR).
• The objectives of meetings conducted as part of this award will be to: (1)
establish and/or enhance existing academic-community partnerships; (2)
identify community-driven research priorities; and (3) develop long-term
collaborative CBPR research agendas.
• It is expected these partnerships will lead to grant applications for the
support of CBPR projects designed to meet identified community needs.
EDUCATION CONFERENCE AS
SEED GRANTS
KRESGE FOUNDATION AS AN EXAMPLE
• Pathways to and through college We seek to propel more
underrepresented students – especially low-income, firstgeneration, African American, Latino, Asian American and Pacific
Islander, and Native American students – into two- and four-year
institutions, prepare them to succeed, and increase the number of
students who ultimately graduate –
• We seek to help postsecondary institutions that focus primarily on
the needs of low-income and underrepresented students by
increasing their capacity to carry out their missions and better
serve students. - See more at:

FOUNDATIONS
Appalachian and Minority Students
Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation
• Through its Global Health program, the foundation works to
close the gap between rich and poor countries by encouraging
new research and supporting healthcare organizations that
reach people most in need. Our Education program seeks to
ensure that all students in the United States graduate from high
school ready for college, work, and citizenship.

Education and Program Grants
Unique Opportunities:
Example
BJS Chritable Foundation - $2500 grants: TYPES OF SUPPORT
• Self-Sufficiency
Over the last decade, the country has seen a rise in the number of reported homeless families. And studies
have shown that these families are more likely to become self-sufficient by first having a safe place to sleep
and then access to other support services. Support will be given to nonprofits that work toward the selfsufficiency of their clients. Grants will fund enhancement of shelter programs, purchase of supplies and
clothing for residents, as well as programming for families safety.
• Healthcare
Support will be given to nonprofits that work on providing healthcare to those who would not normally have
access. Funding will be disbursed to agencies providing supplies to free medical clinics, health prevention
services, as well as supplies for vision, dental and hearing screenings.
• Education
Support will be given to nonprofits that provide academic and vocational opportunities for the disadvantaged.
These programs include the purchase of supplies for literacy skills, mentoring, tutoring and career
development.

ECEs – Education/Program Grants
Examples of grants we would support include projects and/or studies to:
•Explore how a stronger primary care model and relationships with providers
could benefit minority populations and close the persistent health care gap
•Help providers who treat large minority populations become leaders in
delivering high-quality care
•Determine what can be done to reduce the numbers of low-birth weight babies
born to mothers at risk
•Examine, through observational studies, the correlation between a mother’s
health, stress level, and social supports; and the likelihood of having a healthy
baby who lives through its first year of life
•Determine, through interventional studies, whether stress-reduction programs
(including yoga and meditation) can improve health outcomes for minority
patients with chronic conditions, as well as postnatal outcomes for mothers and
pregnant women
