The aims of the project and the investigators who work on it must represent more than one discipline (from within or external to a specific university). More information is posted under the heading Interdisciplinary Research Award in the Breaking News section in the middle column of the homepage at www.asahp.org.

One item in the program description that appears on the homepage needs to be changed. Applications should NOT be sent to anybody at the ASAHP office. Instead, ALL INQUIRIES AND APPLICATIONS should be sent to the grant review chairperson: Christopher Ingersoll at c.d.ingersoll@cmich.edu.
