Officials with the Rutgers Institute for Health, Health Care Policy and Aging Research (IFH) have selected four research teams as the first recipients of its inaugural Data Core Pilot Grant Awards. Each team will receive up to $35,000 to support projects that leverage IFH Data Core resources to advance health care and population health research. The funding period is 12 months. The IFH Data Core is a National Institutes of Health-compliant shared resource facility housed within IFH that provides a range of survey and data resources to support researchers and trainees.
“We’re thrilled to support these promising projects through the Data Core Pilot Grant Program,” said Daniel Horton, the faculty director of the IFH Data Core and an associate professor of pediatrics and epidemiology at Rutgers Robert Wood Johnson Medical School and the Rutgers School of Public Health. “These awards reflect our commitment to catalyzing data-driven research that addresses pressing health challenges and produces actionable insights.”
IFH leaders established the pilot grant program to encourage interdisciplinary research that utilizes the Data Core’s electronic data assets and analytic expertise. To read the full story.
