AAFP grant helps researchers develop proposals
Eleven family practice researchers will develop research proposals, thanks to an AAFP grant. The grant recipients were announced at the Scientific Assembly Sept. 16.
Earlier this year, the AAFP Task Force to Enhance Family Practice Research awarded a supplemental grant of $25,000 for one year to the Center for Family Medicine Science at the University of Missouri, Columbia. The center is one of three family practice centers nationwide that initially received funding through the Academy's $7.72 million research initiative, which began in 1997.
Through the Grant Generating Project, a joint program underwritten by the AAFP and the North American Primary Research Group in cooperation with the Association of Family Medicine Organizations, those funds have been awarded to 11 researchers: John DiFiori, M.D., of Los Angeles; Christine Wilson Duclos, Ph.D., of Denver; John Ely, M.D., M.S.P.H., of Iowa City, Iowa; James Gill, M.D., M.P.H., of Wilmington, Del.; Kim Griswold, M.D., M.P.H., of Buffalo, N.Y.; C. Dale Guenter, M.D., of Ontario, Canada; Michael Parchman, M.D., of San Antonio; Robert Philips Jr., M.D., of Columbia, Mo.; Burke Richmond, M.D., of Madison, Wis.; Tamara Stone, Ph.D., of Columbia, Mo.; and Therese Zink, M.D., M.P.H., of Cincinnati, Ohio.
The year-long Grant Generating Project involves training in the highly competitive process of grant preparation.
