Funding for health research in Paso del Norte Region (TX, NM and Mexico) - Letters of intent due March 1, Proposals due June 1

[Guest guest]

Dear migrant health researchers,

Each year the Paso del Norte Health Foundation through the Center for Border

Health Research (Center) provides funding for health research in the Paso del

Norte region, defined as far west Texas, southern New Mexico and Cd. Juarez,

Mexico. The purpose of this funding is to enable local researchers to generate

preliminary data that will assist them on obtaining external funding for larger

research projects from sources such as the National Institutes of Health and

the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Funding for these grants ranges

from $30,000 - $75,000 and research projects are up to eighteen months in

duration. All projects must have clear relevance to the US/Mexico border

region. Inter-institutional and binational collaboration is encouraged.

The 2007 Request for Proposals (RFP) for pilot research grants is now

available. Letters of intent (LOIs) are due in the Center office by noon on

March 2, 2007. Investigators whose LOI is deemed acceptable will then be

invited to submit a full proposal which must be received at the Center no later

than noon on June 1, 2007.

Questions about applying for funding should be directed to Suzie Focht at

915.577.0970 or sfocht@...
