Partnership and Innovation Accelerator Pilot Program

About this program

Rutgers’ New Jersey Alliance for Clinical and Translational Science (NJ ACTS) is offering Partnership and Innovation Accelerator Pilot awards (up to $10,000) to support collaborative health research with local organizations, and separate Advancing Health Equity and Social Justice Pilot Grants to fund community-engaged scholarship addressing racial inequities and promoting health equity in New Jersey. Awards are intended to facilitate partnerships between investigators and community partners to produce research that directly benefits NJ communities. Applicants must propose community-engaged projects developed in collaboration with local organizations, demonstrate relevance to health equity or social justice in NJ, and be feasible within the pilot funding limits.
