Representative Precision Medicine Research Through Partnerships
Description
The California Initiative to Advance Precision Medicine (CIAPM) will award $6 million to support approximately 3-5 project teams conducting representative precision medicine research projects in California over a 2.5-year project term. Precision medicine calls for the modern application of scientific data and clinical practice toward the individualization of prevention, diagnosis, measurement, and treatment of disease and wellbeing. This funding opportunity aims to support precision medicine and representative research that leverage partnerships within California, include underrepresented populations, who have been underrecognized or historically excluded, as research participants, and reduce health disparities, so that research benefits all people within California and promotes health innovation for all California communities.
Matching Funding Requirement
Additional matching funds and in-kind contributions are not required but are highly encouraged and will be considered during the selection process.
