CDC: Grants for Public Health Research Dissertation

CDC: Grants for Public Health Research Dissertation – Multiple Due Dates
(FUNDING OPPORTUNITIES)

http://www.cdc.gov/od/pgo/funding/CD07-002.htm

The purpose of this funding opportunity announcement is to invite applications for support of public health dissertation research. This program supports research undertaken as part of an academic program to qualify for a doctorate. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) dissertation award supports dissertation research costs for students in accredited research doctoral programs in the United States (including Puerto Rico, and other U.S. territories or possessions).

Dissertation applications must focus on methodological and research topics that address the mission and research interests of the CDC. Grants to support dissertation research will provide no more than $35,000 in direct costs per year, and are awarded for up to one year, with the possibility of extension without additional funds for up to 12 months. Because the nature and scope of the proposed research will vary from application to application, it is anticipated that the size and duration of each award will also vary. The total amount awarded and the number of awards will depend upon the mechanism numbers, quality, duration and costs of the applications received.
