Funding Opportunities

The Urban Health Pathway of Next Lives Here Seed Grant Program is designed to support investigators in collecting preliminary data in new or innovative research that will be leveraged for extramural grant applications.  While this proposal is to be submitted by a UC faculty and/or staff, we encourage community collaboration.  Seed Money Grants ranging from $5,000 to $20,000 in value will be evaluated and selected by the Urban Health Pathway Steering Committee.
