Details:
The St. Louis Community-University Health Research Partnerships (CUHRP) initiative focuses on health care problems of importance to the community with the goal of improving health outcomes, reducing health disparities, and fostering long-term collaborations between university faculty and community-based organizations in St. Louis city and county.

In 2009, Washington University, Saint Louis University, and BJC HealthCare partnered to fund CUHRP. The St. Louis Regional Health Commission administered the first round of funds and coordinated the initiative’s activities. As of August 2012, a team from Saint Louis University and Washington University is coordinating the remaining funds of the CUHRP initiative.

As part of the CUHRP initiative two grant opportunities are available for one-year funding: Partnership Development grants ($5,000) and Implementation grants ($40,000).
