Research Coalition and Advisory Council
(CHER is now the Research Coalition)
We are dedicated to the development of evidence-based design (EBD) research to improve healthcare environments. The objective of the Research Coalition is to create, promote, fund and disseminate research that contributes to therapeutic, safe, efficient, and effective healthcare settings.
Request for Proposals
Research Coalition funds will support cutting edge research in the field of evidence-based design (EBD). All research studies will go through a peer-review process, conducted by The Research Advisory Council, and principal investigators will be strongly encouraged to submit for publication to peer-reviewed journals.
Studies whose results can be easily disseminated to and applied by facility owners, architects and stakeholders in the form of reports, tools and design recommendations will be given high priority. Proposals are due to by January 15, 2009. Selections will be made on February 15, 2009.
