limited to applications that focus on palliative care research projects for
seriously ill patients and their families in one or more of the three specific

developing interventions directed at their treatment in patients with serious
and chronic illnesses;
2. Studying methods of improving communication between patients living
with serious illness, their families and their health care providers;
3. Evaluating models and systems of
care for patients living with serious illness and their families.
