Grant Overview

Puerto Rico's healthcare system faces significant cost constraints, particularly in the aftermath of Hurricane Maria. The island's 3.2 million people are disproportionately affected by health disparities, including higher rates of leukemia and related blood disorders. With a shortage of healthcare professionals and limited resources, Puerto Rico's healthcare system is strained, and patients often face significant out-of-pocket costs for care. The Research Support Grant can help address these challenges by funding research projects that improve understanding and treatment of leukemia and related blood disorders. Unlike neighboring Caribbean nations, Puerto Rico's unique history and cultural context create opportunities for research that can inform healthcare policy and practice across the region. In Puerto Rico, this funding prioritizes projects that demonstrate an understanding of the local Hispanic culture and its impact on healthcare-seeking behaviors. Cost Constraints in Puerto Rico: The island's healthcare system is characterized by limited resources, high costs, and a strong cultural identity. The Research Support Grant can help address these challenges by supporting research that is tailored to the local context. What Puerto Rico Needs from Research: The island's healthcare system requires innovative solutions that can be sustained over time and tailored to the local cultural context. Eligible Applicants in Puerto Rico: Researchers and healthcare professionals affiliated with local healthcare organizations or research institutions. Puerto Rico's Funding Priorities: The grant review process will prioritize projects that demonstrate a clear understanding of the local healthcare landscape and a commitment to improving outcomes for leukemia and related blood disorders.
