Funding-Society of
Family Planning Research Fund - Community-Based Participatory Research Grants;
January 31, 2017
Description
The
mission of the Society of Family Planning Research Fund is to support
interdisciplinary research in the biological, medical, epidemiological, behavioral,
and social sciences related to family planning. The society focuses on a wide
range of research areas — from improvements in basic conceptual or biomedical
knowledge, to design of programs or policies that will provide family planning
more safely, efficiently and extensively, to studies of the social and
psychological dimensions of family planning services and programs.
To
advance this mission, the SFP Research Fund is accepting grant applications to
its Community-Based Participatory Research program. Projects must respond to
one of the research priorities identified in the SFP Research Fund's Priority
Setting Report. Acceptable projects include but are not limited to studies that
involve survey data, focus groups, or semi-structured interviews to identify
community needs for intervention on a specific family planning issue or for
process evaluation of a pilot intervention.
In
2017, the fund will award three grants of up to $150,000 each.
Proposals must be submitted by a team that includes co-principal
investigators, one from a research or academic setting and one from a community
organization,
and the roles of each must be clearly described. The PI at the research
organization must be an SFP full or junior fellow. All research and community
partners must be identified on the proposal.
