Due to significant interest in the program, we are only able to advance a small proportion of LOIs we receive to the full proposal stage. LOIs are turned down for a variety of reasons, including (but not limited to):
- The intervention being evaluated was not clearly described;
- The intervention being evaluated did not focus on change at a systems, structural, or environmental level;
- The research question or hypothesis was not clearly stated;
- The research question was not relevant to advancing health and racial equity or immediately applicable to policy or practice changes;
- There were not appropriate health outcomes; and/or
- The research design did not meet E4A standards of rigor.
If you have specific questions about why your LOI was turned down you may contact us.
