Public Health Disaster Research Award Webinar:
Call 4 and Continuation Call 2

Date: Thursday, August 1, 2024
Time: 11:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. MDT

Webinar Description: The Natural Hazards Center—with support from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the National Science Foundation (NSF)—recently issued two calls for proposals.

This webinar showcased the results from the 10 projects that were funded as part of these two calls. The first 20 minutes of the webinar provided an overview of the Public Health Disaster Research Award program and the funded research projects. Participants then joined one of two breakout rooms where the investigators from each project described their findings in greater depth.

  • Breakout Room 1: Community-Based Research on Public Health and Equity—Call 4
  • Breakout Room 2: Extending Public Health Disaster Research and Community Engagement in Understudied Areas—Continuation Award 2
