Research Overview

ECHO believes one of its key aims should be to facilitate the conduct and development of new research by supporting the career development of young researchers interested in health disparities.

From this idea, the pilot award program was developed. The program began with 2-3 small pilot awards to junior faculty and has evolved into an annual call for proposals that supports multiple, high quality pilot projects led by junior faculty across the state of North Carolina.

Furthermore, ECHO is also fully committed to the importance of research partnerships and collaboration. ECHO facilitates inter-institutional research partnerships and collaborative activities (e.g. seminars, workshops, and conferences) to develop new, and to sustain existing health disparities research initiatives
