The Wisconsin Partnership Program at the UW School of Medicine and Public Health invites eligible faculty and community organizations to submit applications to the COVID-19 Response Grant Program.
The COVID-19 Response Grant Program is designed to help community organizations and UW-Madison researchers address the urgent challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic.
This grant program will provide a strategic, flexible, rapid-response mechanism to support innovative, responsive, high-impact projects that aim to improve the health of the people of Wisconsin by lessening the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic through scientific, medical, or public health approaches and/or by supporting those most at risk or experiencing the greatest disparities in care.
Funding scope and duration
Priority during this funding cycle will be given to proposals taking immediate action to address the COVID-19 pandemic. The Wisconsin Partnership Program will provide up to $1.5 million, directing $750,000 to support community-led projects and $750,000 to support faculty-led projects. Award amounts will range between $25,000 and $150,000 based on proposed budgets, for a duration no longer than 12 months.
The exact number of awards will be determined based upon the merit of the proposals received and the funding amount requested by successful applicants.
A future funding cycle for the COVID-19 response request for proposals will be considered as the COVID-19 pandemic evolves.
Applications are due April 15, 2020.
