NIMHD is pleased to announce the release of a new textbook titled The Science of Health Disparities Research, edited by Irene Dankwa-Mullan, M.D., M.P.H.; Eliseo J. Pérez-Stable, M.D.; Kevin Gardner, M.D., Ph.D.; Xinzhi Zhang, M.D., Ph.D., FACE, FRSM; and Adelaida M. Rosario, Ph.D.
Building upon the advances in health disparities research over the past decade, this authoritative volume can inform policies and practices addressing the diseases, disorders and gaps in health outcomes that are more prevalent in minority populations and socially disadvantaged communities. In 26 chapters, the textbook describes how using an interdisciplinary approach can reduce inequities in population health studies, the importance of adding community engagement to the research process, and the ways that rigorous research can promote social justice.
The Science of Health Disparities Research is an essential resource for trainees and clinical researchers in health services, behavioral science, population science, public health and basic science as it intersects with clinical studies; health care policymakers and epidemiologists; and those working with minority, vulnerable, or underserved populations.
President’s Research Excellence Program
As part of our vision for accelerating excellence in research and creative expression, I want to share additional details on the newly announced President’s Research Excellence program. This program, part of a larger investment in Ohio State researchers and research, will be supported with $2 million a year on average for 10 years. Calls for two different types of proposals will be issued annually: accelerator grants in the spring and catalyst grants in the fall. Details for both types of proposals – including submission requirements and review and selection processes – are available on the Office of Research website.
- Accelerator proposals for small teams formed to pursue curiosity-driven, novel, high-risk and high-reward research. Calls for these proposals will occur annually each spring. Details for the spring 2021 call will be announced later this month.
- Catalyst proposals for large cross- and interdisciplinary teams to pursue large-scale, high-impact research that addresses emerging or existing challenges of national and international societal importance, generates long-term, sustained, and significant impact, and positions Ohio State as THE leader in this area. Calls for these proposals will occur annually each fall. Further details on this call will be released in the coming months.

Research Intensive Workshop
Join us June 3-4 for the Research Intensive Workshop offered virtually by the College of Nursing. Obtain CE credits while you improve your intervention research skills and learn how to earn more grant funding. Our experts are nationally renowned, seasoned NIH-funded researchers from disciplines including nursing, molecular biology and public health. In this workshop, the essential elements of designing, conducting, analyzing and funding intervention research will be taught in a user-friendly format.
Grant Submissions- Process Flow
Be advised that both the COM and CCC Grants Management Office is more strictly enforcing grant submission timelines.
For COM investigators, your intention to submit a new proposal must be sent through the REDCap portal (link: https://redcap.osumc.edu/redcap/surveys/?s=TYPT3ALFMN), but if fewer than 6 weeks remain before the deadline they may not be able to accommodate your application and will deny the submission.
CCC applications should continue to be routed to the CCC Grants Office, by emailing an inquiry to Li.Zheng@osumc.edu
Are you contemplating working with a unpaid volunteer student?
SHARP can help you work out the logistics. We can arrange for virtual access for OSU affiliates at no cost, and virtual access for non-OSU affiliates for a fee (to set up a virtual machine for them to remote to).
For more information, contact Judy M. Opalek, PhD (judy.opalek@osumc.edu)
SHARP Staff – Return to Campus
We are in the midst of our Return to Campus plan and you may be seeing us in the office more often. We need to adhere to the social distancing requirements in our shared space, and we will be working on modified schedules until a full return is feasible. All SHARP staff continue to be reachable by phone, email, and text, whether in the office or working remotely. We appreciate your patience during this time.
Please note that the SHARP staff are working 100% remotely at this time and are still fully available for virtual meetings and discussion. We have nearly every normal tool at our disposal during this time and are only limited by face-to-face interactions and campus-based physical resources. If you have any questions or concerns—reach out!
