Deadline: 30-Jun-23
The National Institute for Health Care Management (NIHCM) Foundation is pleased to announce the Research Grants to support innovative investigator-initiated research with high potential to inform improvements to the U.S. health care system.
Projects must advance the existing knowledge base in the areas of health care financing, delivery, management and/or policy.
Funding Information
- NIHCM is making a total of $1 million available for the combined 2023-2024 funding cycles for their research and journalism grant programs.
- Building on their long-standing commitment to objective research, NIHCM will make up to $500,000 available to new and existing grantees.
- Duration: Applications will be judged on their potential to produce timely results. Projects that can be completed within one year are preferred, but studies requiring a longer timeframe may be proposed.
Eligibility Criteria
- They welcome applications from individual researchers as well as from all types of organizations and institutions, including both non-profit and for-profit entities. Multiple organizations may apply jointly, but one must be named as the principal organization and others will have a subcontract relationship with that organization. There is no limit on the number of project ideas that may be submitted by a given researcher, organization or academic department.
Criteria
-
Full proposals will be judged using the following criteria:
- Significance – Are the research questions or study objectives proposed by the project important and significant?
- Expected Impact – Is the study likely to produce findings or products that will advance knowledge and have a positive impact on the health care system or policy? Will study findings be disseminated to relevant target audiences in ways that can maximize study impact?
- Timeliness – Will the study be completed in a timeframe that enables it to have sufficient impact? Is the proposed timeline realistic and feasible?
- Research Design – Are the proposed methods sound and appropriate to the stated research questions/study objectives? Are the requisite data available, or can they be obtained within the study timeframe and budget? How will the research team deal with anticipated challenges in carrying out the study plan?
- Budget – Is the level of resources requested commensurate with the anticipated project impact and consistent with the proposed project scope? Does the budget adhere to the funding restrictions? Is the budget request justified in sufficient detail to permit reviewers to understand the derivation of the proposed costs and relate them to the work required to complete the study?
- Qualifications of Key Personnel – Do the key personnel have the necessary training and prior research experience to complete this study successfully?
