Making an Impact on the Health of Central Minnesota

The Center for Health Outcomes and Policy Research brings together CentraCare employees and St. Cloud State University faculty and student researchers to develop practical solutions to health challenges in Central Minnesota.

CHOPR offers mini-grants of up to $25,000 to support teams from both institutions in these areas:

1. 1. Analysis and establishment of baseline data. 
   2. Development and implementation of interventions. 
   3. Measurement and studying of impact of these interventions. 
   4. Communication and dissemination of results found.

CHOPR calls for proposals twice per year, usually in September and March. Recent calls have been for research focused on the 2023-25 Community Health Improvement Plan.
