General
Could PHLR please clarify if they anticipate funding alcohol related proposals as a part of the additional two rounds of research?
Answer:
Criteria for funding future rounds of proposals have not yet been determined.
Given the focus of public health, will you consider studies that propose to look at the effect of health law on outcomes that may be limited to those who have health insurance coverage?
Answer:
The focus of the CFP is the impact of public health law on health behaviors, regardless of the characteristics of the population. A study that examines the impact of health insurance alone would not be favorably reviewed unless it included relevant legal and public health analyses and implications.
Would there be any preference given to national over regional or regional over state focused studies?
Answer:
PHLR is committed to funding a range of projects focusing at the national, regional, state and local levels.
Would two proposals from the same organization on different topics be competing against each other or will each be considered on its own merits?
Answer:
PHLR allows individual applicants and institutions to submit more than one proposal. Each would be considered on its own merits, using the selection criteria outlined in the CFP.
Will there be future rounds of funding for this program?
Answer:
At least one future round of funding is planned.
