The Child and Maternal Health (CMH) Component of the CCTSI is a clinical-translational research program focused on longitudinal research in children, pregnant women, and mothers to improve child and maternal health and prevent diseases that begin in early life. The CMH Pilot Grant program is a series of one-year pilot project awards designed to:
- Promote innovative research teams capable of interacting across disciplines, schools, institutions;
- Promote research in children of all ages;
- Promote investigation of the mother-child pair to achieve prevention-oriented, lifespan outcomes.
- Awards will be for a maximum of $20,000 (indirect costs not permitted). The CMH Component intends to award at least $100,000 this year toward these research goals.
