Community engaged research can facilitate rapid advances in this scientific area by ensuring relevant research questions with immediate applicability. As such, applications must be submitted by collaborative community partnered investigative teams who will conduct research projects that address issues prioritized by the relevant communities. No preliminary data are required. However, projects must clearly demonstrate, based on the strength of the logic, a compelling potential to produce desired outcomes.
