The DHSA Research Competition was established in 2019 to foster collaboration between colleagues at our partner institutions. Each year we seek population health research proposals from students, faculty, or staff affiliated with any of DHSA’s member institutions. A $50,000 grant is awarded to the winning team.
DHSA was established in 2009 with four founding partners – ChristianaCare, Nemours Children’s Health, Thomas Jefferson University, and the University of Delaware. The newly expanded membership also includes Bayhealth, Beebe Healthcare, Delaware State University, Delaware Technical Community College, the Delaware Academy of Medicine / Delaware Public Health Association and Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine.
This unique, broad-based partnership focuses innovative collaborations among colleagues in medical education and practice, health economics and policy, population sciences, public health, and biomedical sciences and engineering. We encourage multidisciplinary collaborations with strong community engagement.
