Each year, the Consortium coordinates the Consortium Medical Marijuana Clinical Outcomes Research Grants Program for all member universities. The annual Consortium research agenda determines the focus for the grants program including areas of interest based on research merit.
Following the Request for Proposals (RFP), all applications are reviewed by external reviewers, recruited from out-of-state research units, using NIH review criteria. The Board decides final grant awards based on study quality, impact and relevance to the Consortium research priorities.
