Cornelius Hopper Diversity Supplement
Purpose: The Cornelius Hopper Diversity Supplements (CHDS) are intended to support trainees and California residents from underrepresented communities and/or those who wish to pursue careers in research focused on underserved communities. The Supplement should support their initial entry into the field of tobacco-related research or within the stated TRDRP research priorities.
Principal investigators with an active TRDRP grant should encourage trainees from socioeconomic, cultural, ethnic, racial, linguistic and geographic backgrounds who are not well-represented in the tobacco control research field or who are from communities that experience tobacco-related health disparities. However, in accordance with state law, preference will not be given to applicants based on race, color, ethnicity, gender or national origin.
Supplement submission procedure:
To be considered for funding, an application for a Cornelius Hopper Diversity Supplement to a Core Call award must be submitted as part of a scientific progress report for an active, non-mentored TRDRP grant. CPPRA grantees may apply for a Cornelius Hopper Diversity Supplement as part of pre-funding activities during the post-award period.
There must at least one year remaining on the TRDRP parent award to ensure the best conditions and results for prospective trainees.
