Charles H. Hood Â鶹Èë¿ÚChild Health Research Awards Program

Clinical, basic science, public health, health services and epidemiology research relevant to child health.

Overview

ADVANCING CHILD HEALTH THROUGH THE SUPPORT OF MEDICAL RESEARCH SINCE 1942

The Charles H. Hood Â鶹Èë¿Úwas incorporated in 1942 to improve the health and quality of life for children through grant support of New England-based pediatric researchers. In total, the Hood Â鶹Èë¿Úhas distributed over $80 million to New England investigators, many of whom are now leaders in child health research. To learn more about the Hood Â鶹Èë¿Úand the work we support, please visit our website at .

The intent of the Child Health Research Awards Program is to support newly independent faculty, provide the opportunity to demonstrate creativity, and assist in the transition to other sources of research funding.

Two-year grants of $200,000 ($100,000 per year inclusive of 10% indirects) are awarded to researchers who are within five (PhD scientists) or seven (physician-scientists) years of employment following completion of training. Applicants must be working in nonprofit academic, medical or research institutions within the six New England states. Grants support hypothesis-driven clinical, basic science, public health, health services research, and epidemiology projects focused on child health. (Refer to the Application Guidelines for complete eligibility requirements).

Application deadlines occur in the spring and fall of each year. Funding begins every January 1st and July 1st.
