The Patrick and Catherine Weldon Donaghue Medical Research Foundation in West Hartford, Connecticut, is accepting Letters of Intent for research projects with the potential to improve the quality of care and life for the elderly in nursing homes or other care facilities.
Through its Another Look: Better Health for Elders in Care Facilities program, the foundation will award grants totaling $450,000 for projects that address a particular problem affecting the elderly in care facilities with data that already exists. (New data collection will not be supported by the program.) Researchers applying for a grant must identify a stakeholder in the care delivery or policy arena with whom they will either consult or collaborate and who is willing to work with the researcher to develop a research product that may be readily used to improve care or quality of life.
Investigators at nonprofit institutions in New England and New York that are considered tax exempt under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code are eligible to apply. The applicant must demonstrate how his/her research question is important to the stakeholder and propose a rigorous research design. Grantees may use their award to augment funding for a project already funded through another grant.
LOIs must be received no later than May 10, 2013. Upon review, select applicants will be invited to submit full applications, which will be due on July 26, 2013. The grant term begins in January 2014.
See the Donaghue Foundation Web site for eligibility and application guidelines.
