The funding is offered in conjunction with the theme of the National Symposium on Academic Palliative Care Education and Research, Quality in Palliative Care: Fusing Education, Research and Practice, being held in San Diego from October 11 to October 12, 2018. Multiple grants ranging between $5,000 and $10,000 will be awarded at the symposium. The institute encourages proposals for innovative educational and/or research projects that will expand current or future workforce knowledge leading to improved care or enhanced quality of life for seriously or chronically ill people.

To promote the development of successful independent researchers working to improve the care of patients with serious illness, the NPCRC is requesting applications for its Transition to Independence Award (TIA). The aim of the TIA is to expand the cadre of palliative care researchers by extending research support to promising investigators completing a federal career development award whom have not yet achieved independence as measured by successful receipt of an NIH R01 award or equivalent. The TIA assures a continuum of support for turning promising junior investigators into independent researchers.
