Promoting Health Equity by Including Under-represented Participants in Research
UNC Center for Health Equity Research
The purpose of this special RFA, sponsored by TraCS Integrating Special Populations Program and the Center for Health Equity Research, is to facilitate research that promotes health equity for groups who have traditionally been under-represented in health research or excluded altogether (e.g., people who live in rural areas, populations with low socioeconomic status, people with disabilities, adolescents, older adults, the LGBTQ community, African Americans, Native Americans, and Latinos).
The pilot program is open to all UNC-Chapel Hill investigators and investigators at NC TraCS partner institutions: RTI, North Carolina A&T State University, and NC State University.
We are seeking projects that can be completed within 12 months and have strong potential to inform subsequent grant applications to the NIH or other funding agencies.
