The National Institutes of Health Public Trust Initiative is seeking
applications for its Partners in Research program, which funds studies of
innovative programs that improve public understanding of health care research
and promote collaboration between scientists and community organizations. The
studies help the NIH develop strategies to increase public awareness of the
agency and its  research. The Partners in Research program seeks to,
specifically, identify and implement new ways to increase science literacy,
communicate the research needs and interests of communities, and encourage
understanding of biomedical and behavioral research by partnering with
community-sanctioned organizations. For more information, please visit
