CHAS Funding Programs
Beginning in 2005, CHAS has supported promising health services and policy research projects at the University of Chicago through its annual SEED-GRANT PROGRAM. The program facilitates research not presently funded by extramural sources, laying the foundations for larger-scale research projects that may be competitive for extramural funding. The Program funds projects that display sound research design with high potential impact on health services and policies affecting the disadvantaged.
PREDOCTORAL DISSERTATION SUPPORT PROGRAM. The Center offers one $18,000 award on an annual basis. The purpose of the stipend is to support students whose dissertation topic falls within the Center’s mission in the final stages of the dissertation research and writing (from proposal to dissertation defense.)
