The NIH Public Trust Initiative Launches the “Partners in Research” Program – October 23, 2007

The Public Trust Initiative (PTI), an initiative of the National
Institutes of Health (NIH), announces the release of a new Request
for Applications (RFA) for the Partners in Research program. The
purpose of this program is to support studies of innovative programs
designed to improve public understanding of health care research
and promote collaboration between scientists and community organizations.
In turn, these studies should help in the development of strategies
to increase the public awareness and trust in both the role of
NIH and the importance of new directions of research for advancing
the public health.
