CHOIR Funding Opportunities
CHOIR invites all faculty to submit proposals for projects that generate preliminary data for subsequent external funding applications. Special consideration will be given to proposals from junior faculty. We encourage faculty transitioning to new research areas, faculty from schools or departments that have not previously received CHOIR funding, or multi-disciplinary projects to apply. CHOIR offers two types of awards:
CHOIR Award
Center for Health Outcomes and Informatics Research (CHOIR) grants leverage our informatics and data science expertise and infrastructure to expand health outcomes, health disparities, and related research across LUC and LUHS. This award welcomes projects that incorporate either quantitative or qualitative informatics and data science methods, utilize high-performance computing, or apply informatics and data science tools in novel ways.
Health EQ Award
Health Equity grants focus on social determinants of health, reducing health disparities, and environmental health impact on health disparities. This award welcomes projects that feature community partnerships that address health equity in Chicago or Illinois communities. Proposals outside the Chicagoland area will not be considered.
Both funding opportunities are open to the entire LUC/LUHS community. Multidisciplinary projects across departments, schools, and campuses are strongly encouraged.
