NIH grant announcement PA-06-337 (an R21)
NIH New Investigator's Guide
Also, of potential interest, is the funding opportunity announcement from the CDC in REACH - Racial and Ethnic Approaches to Community Health - although the closing date for that is May 7, 2007.
The REACH Detroit Partnership is of the most interest to me for future work and collaboration, as it is located in Ann Arbor, Michigan, and is supported by the University of Michigan School of Public Health and the UM School of Social Work and a number of local health systems such as Henry Ford.
Reach also has a "New Internet Computer" (NIC) initiative to explore low-cost web-based empowerment strategies. Bill Gates recently came out in favor of cell-phones as the way to go for the poor. On that subject, Gates also just gave $25,000,000 to Cornell University to develop a program in "systems thinking", a subject relevant to this presentation. Obviously, along with other Gates Foundation initiatives in TB control, etc., Gates thinks this is an important direction to explore.
