Wellesley Central Health Corporation (WCHC) is pleased to announce a new
awards call in support of community-based research.

Wellesley Urban Health (WUH) Research Program

Goal:  To reduce health inequalities in urban settings through the
execution of community- and policy-relevant community-based research
projects.

Wellesley Central Health Corporation takes as its mission the promotion
of healthy urban communities.  An independent, self-funding,
not-for-profit organization, WCHC is a champion of the emerging urban
health movement. WCHC currently supports research initiatives that seek
to understand the impact of social and economic disadvantage on the
health of marginalized communities.

For 2004-2005, priority will be given to research projects focussed on
youth and/or the homeless that are conceptualized within at least one of
the three social determinants of health most relevant to Toronto -
housing, social exclusion, and income and income distribution.

Continuing in our commitment to support innovation in community-based
research approaches, the WUH Research Program will award research
projects based on strength of collaboration, innovation and rigour in
methods, and the potential for action outcomes including the ability to
inform public policy.  Advanced Community-Based Research Awards are
provided to a maximum amount of $50,000 per project and are available
for projects of up to two years in length.
