The time has come to start preparing for the 2017 PIHCI funding competitions. We are anticipating that the next round of PIHCI funding opportunities will be announced in spring 2017 including Knowledge Synthesis, Comparative Program and Policy Analysis, and Multi-Year grants.
To kick things off, we are holding a Project Incubator on November 18 to bring together groups of researchers and to move forward with project ideas. We are allowing enough time in this meeting to create working documents.
