The Consortium is a joint project of Architects Foundation, the American Institute of Architects (\u201cAIA\u201d), and the Association of Collegiate Schools of Architecture (\u201cACSA\u201d), (collectively, the \u201cConsortium Partners\u201d) conceived to advance university-led research in the area of design and health. The Association of Schools and Programs of Public Health (\u201cASPPH\u201d) provides additional support and guidance for the project.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThe inaugural cohort of 11 universities was selected through an RFQ process in December 2014.

However, under the direction of the AIA\u2019s Design \u0026amp; Health Leadership Group (\u201cDHLG\u201d), the requirements have been modified to promote and accelerate the translation of research into practice. The modifications to the RFQ process will help to ensure that Consortium partners and teams achieve the three goals of the Consortium:\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cul\u003E\u003Cli\u003ENo. 1: Strengthen and expand the knowledge base that informs the connection between design and health by documenting and disseminating peer-reviewed quantitative and qualitative research projects. \u003C\/li\u003E\u003Cli\u003ENo. 2: Develop evidence-based tools for practicing professionals informed by current research. \u003C\/li\u003E\u003Cli\u003ENo. 3: Translate the outcomes of research about the connection between design and health for policymakers and the general public. As such, for the purpose of selecting the second cohort, preference will be given to applicants whose work emphasizes building-scale design, or evaluates a site-specific intervention\u2019s effects on community health.\u003C\/li\u003E\u003C\/ul\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThere is no funding opportunity associated with this RFQ.\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EThe Architects Foundation, the American Institute of Architects, and the Association of Collegiate Schools of Architecture have announced an open Request for Qualifications for ACSA and ASPPH member schools and programs interested in joining the AIA Design \u0026amp; Health Research Consortium.
