Charles H. Hood Foundation Child Health Research Awards Program
The Charles H. Hood Foundation was incorporated in 1942 to improve the health and quality of life for children through grant support of New England-based pediatric researchers. The Foundation is proud to have launched the careers of promising junior faculty whose research findings have contributed to significant improvements in child health. To-date, the Program has supported close to 550 investigators.
The intent of the Award is to support newly independent faculty, provide the opportunity to demonstrate creativity, and assist in the transition to other sources of research funding. Research projects must be relevant to child health.
Two-year grants of $150,000 ($75,000 per year inclusive of 10% indirect costs) are awarded to researchers who are within five years of their first faculty appointment by the funding start date. Applicants must be working in nonprofit academic, medical or research institutions within the six New England states. Grants support hypothesis-driven clinical, basic science, public health, health services research, and epidemiology projects. Application deadlines occur in the spring and fall of each year. Funding begins every July 1st and January 1st, respectively.
