The Lister Hill Center for Health Policy is accepting proposals for pilot research grants relevant to health-related policies. Proposals are restricted to Principal Investigators with a primary appointment in the UAB School of Public Health or current LHC Scholars and should have the potential to generate a competitive application to major funding sources.

Proposals must focus on research that is directly related to health policy which may include any law, regulation, procedure/program, administrative action, incentive, or voluntary practice of governments and institutions across various sectors that might influence health and health outcomes at the local, state, or national level, as well as studies that inform the design of effective policies and programs.
