Full Community-Partnered Participatory Research Award (Full CPPRA)
Introduction
**Please Note: the CPPRA Award mechanism has a separate Request for Applications (RFA), which must be read and adhered to by applicant teams. The separate RFA can be found on TRDRP's website under Funding Opportunities**
Purpose: The goal of the Full CPPRA is to support partnered research addressing tobacco-related health disparities focused on the development, testing, or evaluation of a tobacco prevention or treatment intervention.
Full CPPRA research plans may describe the need to collect a small amount of feasibility data; however, specific aims must mainly focus on intervention development and testing. A competitive application will include preliminary data and have a strong theoretical rationale supporting the research questions and methods.
The Full CPPRA is intended for well-integrated teams of academic and community experts with a previous working relationship. A Full CPPRA may have a specific aim focused on strengthening and/or evaluating the community-academic research partnership. In most cases, a community-academic team will use the Full CPPRA to complete a research plan developed and initiated during the Pilot CPPRA phase or a pilot grant from another funder (e.g., NIH R25/R34 grant types). Although a previous pilot award is not a requirement for a Full CPPRA application, a pilot project is strongly recommended as preparation for a Full CPPRA.
