HWPP Funds Two Types of Awards

Development Awards:

• Support new partnerships as well as previously and currently funded community-MCW academic partnerships to build synergy and strength around the development of a pilot project aimed at testing or demonstrating the feasibility of an idea.
• Activities may include the creation of a strategic plan, action plan, or planning and/or community needs assessment activities related to the development of a project or program.
• Typically, Development Awards run for 1-2 years with a maximum duration of two (2) years.
• Direct cost budgets are generally $50,000 to $200,000 with a maximum award amount of $200,000 over the life of the award.

Impact Awards:

• Support established community-MCW academic partnerships (up to five years) to build on the work of their previous project(s) and/or partnership experiences.
• Applicants must clearly demonstrate measurable outcomes from their prior partnership experience and how new funding will expand the scope and impact of the partnership.
• The proposed project must be more than an extension in funding for a previous project. Applicants must identify how new funding will expand the scope and impact of a prior project and the partnership, bringing them to a new level of transformation.
• Awards will support the implementation of a health promotion or health-related prevention project and/or program. Project activities should include capacity building strategies, evaluation, dissemination and translation of successful project results.
• Typically, Impact Awards run for 2-5 years with a maximum duration of five (5) years.
• Direct cost budgets are generally $200,000 to $750,000 with a maximum award amount of $750,000 over the life of the award.
