Midwest Roybal Center Pilot Grants

The Midwest Roybal Center for Health Promotion and Translation, based in the Center for Research on Health and Aging, supports pilot grants for faculty, academic staff and doctoral candidates studying health promotion and maintenance among older adults in minority or underserved populations.

Two competitions are held annually, one for doctoral candidates and one for doctoral candidates and faculty or more seasoned researchers. Applicants may apply only to one competition per calendar year. Previous grantees are welcome to submit new applications. Doctoral candidates must complete their preliminary examinations prior to the initiation of funding.
