Funding Opportunity Announcement
Community Conversations Research Competition
Apply by April 10, 2018 | LOI by March 26, 2018
This competition focuses on engaging communities in conversations about their civic health using participatory research approaches to facilitate civic engagement and strengthen community capacity to address local issues, both of which are central to Corporation for National & Community Service's (CNCS) mission. CNCS is seeking applications from institutions of higher education that work with and in local communities to use a participatory research approach to:
- actively engage residents and other local stakeholders in a research process,
- identify a local issue of concern to the community,
- understand what may facilitate or hinder participation to address the issue, and
- create a collaborative action plan to increase civic engagement and build relationships to tackle the community-identified issue.
Call for Proposals
2018 National Tribal Behavioral Health Conference Call for Proposals
July 25-27, 2018 | Washington, DC
Submission deadline: April 13, 2018
The National Indian Health Board invites Tribal behavioral health experts, researchers, community-based service providers, and Tribal professionals to submit abstracts for 90-minute workshops and 60-minute roundtables at the 2018 AIAN Behavioral Health Conference.
NIHB encourages presentations highlighting evidence-based, best, or promising practices developed in and for Tribal communities. NIHB is particularly interested in presentations that provide tools in addition to information and research, so that gained knowledge can be made actionable. NIHB is also looking for presentations that address Tribal behavioral health issues from multiple perspectives, paying close attention to the social determinants of health (i.e. socioeconomic status, exposure to trauma, access to education, the physical environment, etc.) which directly influence behavioral health outcomes. This year's conference focuses on actions and tools that promote connections with culture and community and knowing your purpose through the implementation of Tribal best practices.
