The Leonard Davis Institute of Health Economics (LDI) is requesting proposals for pilot research grants investigating issues in health care delivery, health policy, and population health. Applications are due by Monday, November 14, 2022 at 9:00 a.m. ET.

This Request for Proposals is intended to:

• Stimulate innovative new research ideas among the Penn community 
• Encourage new collaborations between investigators from different schools, backgrounds, and disciplines
• Lead to new extramural grant funding or a new research program for the PI

Pilot proposals that help support these goals will be given preference, as will proposals that align with at least one of LDI’s priority focus areas. These areas are: (1) health care access and coverage; (2) health equity; (3) improving care for older adults; (4) the opioid epidemic; and (5) population health. We are particularly interested in proposals bringing new perspectives or disciplinary approaches to research questions.
