Research
The Wisconsin Partnership Program has created a research infrastructure within the School of Medicine and Public Health that emphasizes public health in both education and research.
We support innovative research dedicated to health promotion and prevention as well as to the diagnoses, treatment, and cure of disease, with an emphasis on reducing health disparities. Our investments provide a solid foundation to address today’s health problems and have the potential to improve health far into the future. Grantees are addressing health issues and answering fundamental questions that will impact the health of the people of Wisconsin and beyond.
The Partnership Education and Research Committee supports faculty grant programs as well as strategic education and research initiatives.
Faculty Grant Programs
Faculty Grants support innovative research to prevent, diagnose, treat, and cure diseases. These grants target a multitude of issues affecting Wisconsinites, including Alzheimer’s disease, blindness, cancer, diabetes, infectious disease, maternal and child health, obesity and more. Our faculty researchers produce new knowledge and discoveries that can be translated to improvements in human health. Grant programs exist for early career researchers, teams of collaborators, and faculty working on high-impact research and education projects benefiting the people of Wisconsin.
For more information about specific faculty grant programs, including eligibility, deadlines and how to apply, visit the Faculty Grants page.
Strategic Education and Research Grants
Through Strategic Education and Research Grants, the Wisconsin Partnership Program provides significant levels of funding to selected investigators and teams to initiate or further enhance novel infrastructure programs to improve health and health care for all in Wisconsin. With the Wisconsin Partnership Program’s support, these strategic initiatives have helped build capacity within and beyond the school for innovative research and education that addresses population health, health care delivery and more.
The Wisconsin Partnership Program currently provides strategic research and education grants for innovative projects to expand and enhance the impact of the UW–Madison Clinical and Translational Science Award (CTSA).
Grants are awarded in alignment with WPP’s mission, policies and goals. Current WPP-funded projects include:
Data Science to Promote Precision Medicine
Diversifying Biorepositories to Promote Clinical and Translational Research
Mentoring and Professional Development Module
