Partnering & Grants

The Center for Community Health & Prevention partners with the community to help residents of Rochester and the Finger Lakes region lead healthier lives.

There are multiple opportunities to partner with us on health-related initiatives. Grants, Community Engagement Studios and other research initiatives are a few of the ways we can work together.

  • Community Health Mini-Grants: Supported and funded by the Center and the UR Clinical & Translational Science Institute, the Mini-Grants are one-time grants up to $2,000, awarded on a quarterly basis and limited to one community project each year per partnership.
  • Community Engagement Studios: Studios provide an opportunity to provide input to researchers on study design, implementation and dissemination.
  • Community Health Improvement Workgroup (CHIW): The CHIW accepts proposals annually to fund those who have expertise in either of the two priority areas highlighted in the 2022-2024 Monroe County Joint Community Health Improvement Plan (CHIP). Those two priority areas are: (1) Addressing Disparities in Maternal and Child Health (2) Promoting Mental Health and Well-Being.

If you’re interested in collaborating on a grant proposal, please contact us at centerforcommunityhealth@urmc.rochester.edu.
