Pilot Community-Partnered Participatory Research Award (Pilot CPPRA)
**Please Note: the CPPRA Award mechanism has a separate Request for Applications (RFA), which must be read and adhered to by applicant teams. The separate RFA can be found on TRDRP's website under Funding Opportunities**
Purpose: Conduct the initial phase of a hypothesis-driven community-partnered research project, up to 2-years of support, including testing the acceptability and feasibility of methods, strengthening collaborative relationships, developing tools and methods for a later intervention, collecting preliminary data, and demonstrating proof-of-principle of a new paradigm or research hypothesis. The goal of the Pilot CPPRA is to provide initial support for community-partnered research projects with potential to inform a prevention or cessation intervention in the future.
