·    Clinical repurposing trials led by US-based underrepresented racial/ethnic minority PIs (as defined by the NIH) in any disease; budgets of up to $70,000 accepted; brief proposals due July 30, 2021.

·    Clinical repurposing trials from any institution in the greater Chicago area to address racial/ethnic health disparities as defined by the NIH; budgets of up to $80,000 accepted; community engagement required; brief proposals due July 30, 2021.
