We believe that communities benefit when community-based organizations lead and participate in research.
Research plays a vital role in improving services and quality of care for local populations. It’s been shown that communities are eager to participate in research — with more than half of U.S. community health centers participating in research partnerships, and more than two-thirds indicating an interest to expand research activities.
We're proud to support community-based participatory research (CBPR) to pursue the shared goal of improving health outcomes.
Eligibility criteria
To be eligible, an organization — public or private — must represent community needs or significant segments of the community, which means:
- The organization works to address these needs or provide related services to individuals in the community.
- The majority of the governing body and staff are community members.
- The main operating offices are in the community.
- Community members define priority issues and develop solutions to address them.
- Community members are involved in the design, implementation and evaluation of the research projects.
Request for Proposal Programs (CBPR RFP)
We have open CBPR RFPs seeking to support research projects in specific populations and topics of interest. These programs represent Gilead’s commitment to address unmet community needs in therapeutic areas such as HIV, oncology and liver diseases.
If you are interested in applying to an CBPR RFP, follow the instructions outlined in the active CBPR RFP descriptions provided.
The first step is to submit a Letter of Interest (LOI). Please do not submit the online research proposal form until you have been invited. Any questions can be directed to the email address listed in the CBPR RFP description.
