- The total amount available for this funding opportunity is $700,000, enough to fund approximately seven (7) one (1) year grants of up to $100,000 each. This amount may increase if additional funding partners participate.
- Of the $700,000:
- $500,000 is available to fund five (5) applications relevant to the general pool.
- $200,000 is available to fund two (2) applications relevant to the Urban Indigenous Health pool.
- All applications relevant to the Urban Indigenous Health pool will be funded from top down in order of ranking. If the Urban Indigenous Health pool is undersubscribed or lacks fundable applications, unspent funds will be used to fund the next highest-scored unfunded applications in the general pool, in rank order, as far as funds will allow.
For more information on the appropriate use of funds, refer to Allowable Costs.
Overview
The goal of the Data Analysis Grants is to use existing cohorts, data platforms and/or administrative datasets to advance healthy cities intervention research and implementation science specifically by addressing one or more of the following objectives:
- Evaluating the impact on health and health equity of interventions to the physical, social or policy environment (including health system–mediated interventions);
- Contributing analyses to directly inform the planning of physical, social or policy interventions with the purpose of improving urban population health or health equity;
- Addressing critical contextual questions related to the implementation of one or more interventions and scaling up (knowledge sharing) of evidence-based interventions (including health system-mediated interventions);
- Filling knowledge gaps that are critical for laying the foundation for future population health intervention research in urban areas. For example, increasing our understanding around how interventions may impact populations differentially according to gender, age, race, culture, ethnicity, income, or dis/ability;
- Developing and/or validating indicators and other data or evaluation tools that enable robust, comparable, replicable and equitable healthy cities intervention research and implementation science (including health system-mediated interventions).
