RESEARCH & GRANTS

The Center for Health Policy produces evidence-based solutions for health promotions and disease prevention that are global and United States specific in scope. The CHP strives to serve Duke University as a coordinating unit for health policy research and dissemination, in addition to aiding in the educational outreach of Duke. The Center for Health Policy has accumulated over 20 years experience in working with both governmental and foundation grants.

In 2008, the CHP submitted 25 different grant proposals designed to build the ongoing research. Currently, the Center for Health Policy has 19 different grants with more than 45 different fund codes for which it has successfully competed and is directly responsible. These grants, primarily from federal funders, are worth nearly $2 million for 2009 with another 10 proposals pending peer review or funding decisions. In addition to the several research based grants, the Center also holds grants that directly relate to community education through the North Carolina AIDS Education and Training Center, as well as service through the North Carolina Community AIDS Fund.
