National Institutes of Health Offers Two Childhood Asthma Grant Opportunities
The Action Plan to Reduce Racial and Ethnic Asthma Disparities indicates that in order to make substantial progress in reducing disparities we will require research to design, execute and evaluate implementation programs that maximize synergies among all key sectors to create a system of care that focuses on children most in need and reaches them where they live, learn and play. To this end, two research grant opportunities have been released by the National Institutes of Health for 2015 and 2017. >>>>
