Consortium for Palliative Care Research Across the Lifespan

NIH has released a new funding opportunity to develop the Consortium for Palliative Care Research Across the Lifespan. The initiative is supported by NIA as well as the National Cancer Institute, Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development, National Institute of Mental Health, National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, and National Institute of Nursing Research, with additional ICs contributing expertise and programmatic support. The consortium will:

• Generate new scientific knowledge in part through pilot and exploratory studies awarded through national, peer-reviewed competitions
• Foster training and mentoring of early- and mid-career palliative care investigators through its Research Education Core Scholars program and other activities
• Engage health care systems and community-based organizations as research partners and settings
• Facilitate research to understand and address disparities in access, quality, and use of palliative care services
• Disseminate research findings, best practices, data, and other impactful resources to the palliative care research and clinical communities
  
  If you’re interested in being part of this project, be sure to register for the pre-application webinar on March 15, and then apply by July 2.
