This funding is for innovative, drug-agnostic CBPR projects in various therapeutic areas.

Gilead Sciences: Community-Based Participatory Research Research Funding Programs Community-Based Participatory Research Community-Based Participatory Research Some content on this site is not intended for people outside of the United States. 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.

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. Community-Based Research Proposal Development Toolkit Community-Based Research Proposal Development Toolkit The purpose of this toolkit is to provide general information regarding funding proposals for Community-Based Participatory Research (CBPR).

Whether you have never read a Request for Proposal (RFP) or have prepared many proposals, you will find information and tips for putting together a proposal for a research project that is feasible for your organization and benefits the communities you serve. Please note that this toolkit is not intended to be a template or serve as a substitute for your organization’s research proposals, applications or capabilities.

Although the toolkit provides suggestions to focus your research project, it is not intended as an instruction manual and does not guarantee funding of your proposal for any given RFP. Reading And Understanding The RFP This module provides guidance on what to look for when you read an RFP. This can help you make an informed decision about whether to pursue that opportunity and write a proposal in response to that request.

Deciding Whether To Submit A Proposal This module provides guidance on deciding whether your organization will submit for a particular funding opportunity, based on your organization’s capacity to write a complete proposal and implement the research.

Writing A Proposal Narrative This module provides considerations for preparing to write a proposal narrative, which requires careful planning, effective communication and strategic thinking. This module provides guidance on how to focus your research approach as you develop the research approach section of your proposal. This includes formulating research questions from a broad topic to using data to address those research questions.

Developing Communication And Dissemination Plans This module delves into the essential elements of a communication and dissemination plan, from setting clear objectives and identifying key audiences to crafting tailored messages and selecting appropriate communication channels.

Evaluation And Sustainability Plans This module provides best practices and suggestions for writing the evaluation and sustainability plan sections of your proposal, emphasizing strategic thinking and alignment with the funding opportunity. This module provides guidance on creating a budget and timeline tailored specifically for CBPR initiatives, ensuring alignment with project goals and facilitating effective resource management.
