Funding Opportunity: Improving Public Health Data Systems to Address Health Equity Challenges for At-Risk Communities in the U.S. Gulf Coast
The Gulf Research Program (GRP) and Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) are partnering to advance health equity in at-risk communities located in the coastal region of the US Gulf of Mexico. Towards this advancement, the GRP-RWJF partnership is sponsoring a unique funding opportunity for researchers at Minority Serving Institutions in Alabama, Florida, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Texas. This funding opportunity will support community-engaged research to investigate the role that data on the social determinants of health (SDOH) could play in improving the capability of public health data systems to better understand and address health disparities in select at-risk communities.
