The Donaghue Foundation has announced the third cycle of their "Another Look: Better Health for Elders in Care Facilities" grant program, which will provide funding for health-related research projects that can improve the quality of care and the quality of life for the elderly population in nursing homes or other care facilities.
Specifically, this program invites researchers interested in addressing a particular problem affecting the elderly population in care facilities to analyze data that already exist to address their research question. New data collection will not be allowed in this program.
In 2015, the Foundation will invest approximately $1,000,000 in this grant program. The goal is to award up to eight two-year projects.
This program is open to investigators at tax-exempt institutions in the six New England states, New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania. In order to receive the award, the applicant must demonstrate how their research question is important to the stakeholder and propose a rigorous research design. Grantees may use this award to augment funding for a project already funded through another grant.

The application process has two phases. Phase 1 is a letter of intent portion that will be due on May 1, 2015. For those who receive an invitation to apply, the application will be due on July 17, 2015.
