[Guest guest]

** Please excuse cross-postings **

Dear Migrant Health Research colleagues,

In the midst of the numerous recovery act funding announcements from the

National Institutes of Health (NIH), we've been noticing a dramatic rise

in inquiries to CCPH from community-based organizations that are either

applying directly for NIH funding or as partners of academic institutions

that are the lead applicants. This conference call is the first in a

series that will focus on responding to the most frequently asked

questions. Each call with include speakers who will provide answers and

insights from their direct experience, helpful handouts and links to

relevant resources. Call notes and handouts will be posted on the CCPH

website for future reference.

The first call is scheduled for June 3, 2009 from 12:30-2 pm pacific time

/ 3:30-5 pm eastern time and will address the " why and how " of obtaining:

*a federally negotiated indirect rate

*a federal wide assurance for human subjects research

*registration through grants.gov and NIH eraCommons

Speakers on the call will include Elmer Freeman, Executive Director,

Center for Community Health Education, Research and Service in Boston, MA

and Loretta , Executive Director, Healthy African American Families

II, Los Angeles, CA. Learn more about their organizations online at
