PennCERT Small Grant Program: Request for Applications
The Penn Center for Education and Research on Therapeutics (PennCERT), funded by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ), is a program of Penn’s Center for Clinical Epidemiology and Biostatistics (CCEB). The theme of PennCERT is infectious disease and anti-infective therapy. The mission is to decrease inappropriate use of antibiotics, with the ultimate goal of reducing antibiotic drug resistance. Major foci are to conduct evidence-based research to improve decisions about the use and effects of anti-infective drugs; to implement and evaluate interventions aimed at reducing inappropriate use of anti-infectives; to develop methods and population resources to support such aims; and to develop educational/informational programs targeted to both the professional community and the general public. The sub-themes of the PennCERT are pharmacoepidemiology, patient safety, and health information technology.
Applications for the PennCERT Small Grant Program are no longer being accepted.
