UCF Lake Nona Hospital Community Benefit Fund
Request for Proposals
The UCF Lake Nona Hospital was created through a joint venture between an HCA affiliate and UCF Academic Health, Inc., bringing together one of the largest healthcare networks in the nation with the UCF College of Medicine. Guided by our mission to improve human life through exceptional care, research, and education, we are committed to advancing health in the communities we serve.
The UCF Lake Nona Hospital Community Benefit Fund was established and funded solely by the hospital to support community health-related activities. The fund is now accepting proposals from components of the UCF Academic Health Sciences Center for projects that align with the Hospital’s identified health priorities in Orange and Osceola counties.

Center for Behavioral Health Research and Training
Request for Proposals
The Center for Behavioral Health Research and Training (CBHRT) is now accepting proposals for two funding opportunities:
1) A seed program that seeks to support research primarily in the behavioral health field. Through this program, the CBHRT funds pilot projects that have the potential for developing into large-scale studies. Priority will be given to proposals that seek to address issues related to behavioral health and demonstrate a clear plan to harness pilot data for external grant proposals and/or to expand upon existing research projects. The award amount per project is $5,000. The submission deadline is Sept. 30 at 11:59 p.m.
2) A community-connected research initiative that seeks to support research primarily in the behavioral health field. Through this program, the CBHRT will provide funding for faculty members to collaborate with community agencies on program development or evaluation initiatives, with the potential for these projects to serve as a foundation for larger grants in the future. The award amount per project is $15,000. Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis, but priority will be given to proposals received by Sept. 26.
All applications must include a minimum of two investigators from different departments within the Academic Health Sciences Center (College of Health Professions and Sciences, College of Nursing, and/or College of Medicine). A co-investigator from the School of Social Work is preferred but not required.
