Research to Advance Racial and Indigenous Health Equity
Launching TODAY! We are excited to announce that we have released a new call for proposals (CFP), Research to Advance Racial and Indigenous Health Equity. A total of $5 million in research grants will be awarded through this call to support actionable, solutions-oriented health equity research through two types of funding. Rapid Response Research awards will support early- to mid-career health equity researchers whose health equity research has been interrupted by federal funding shifts. New Research Support awards will support community-driven research that uplifts the knowledge, expertise, and power of Indigenous and other historically marginalized communities of color to develop or test solutions that advance racial and Indigenous health equity.
Access our funding page and register for our informational webinar that will be held on May 2nd at 11am - 12:30pm PT / 2 - 3:30pm ET, and spread the word!

“It’s no secret: Foundations could be the next American institutions under attack,” write Tonya Allen, Deepak Bhargavaand, and John Palfrey in the Nonprofit Quarterly’s Unite in Advance: Philanthropy Coalition Launches Solidarity Campaign.
In the piece we’re introduced to three key actions that foundations, nonprofits, universities, and other philanthropic organizations can take to stand together and support the communities we serve. As we move forward, we’re closely monitoring how policy decisions are affecting our ability to fund health equity work—and staying ready to respond.
