St. Louis Community/University Health Research Partnerships (CUHRP) is a program designed to provide a vehicle through which to focus research efforts on health care problems of importance to the community with the goal of improving health outcomes and reducing health disparities. The $1.5 million in funds provided by Washington University, Saint Louis University and BJC HealthCare will support the development of research partnerships between community-based organizations in St. Louis City and County and faculty members at Washington University and Saint Louis University.
The program awarded seven research partnerships, up to $100,000 per project for a one-year period, to investigate, analyze and publicly report findings on an existing health concern within the St. Louis community. Research projects that produce significant findings requiring additional funding for program development and implementation may be eligible for a second round of funding.
Award determinations were made by panels comprised of community and university representatives who considered scientific quality, potential for positive impact on health outcomes and disparities and whether the project fits with the interests of the St. Louis Community.
