Finding Answers: Disparities Research for Change, a national program of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) housed at the University of Chicago, is awarding more than $2.5 million to 10 organizations that are working to eliminate racial and ethnic healthcare disparities in their communities.
Each of the 10 grant recipients will receive up to $275,000 to evaluate their proposed interventions aimed at reducing disparities in the health outcomes of patients in their communities. Grantees will focus on cardiovascular disease, depression, and diabetes--diseases where evidence of racial and ethnic disparities in care is strong and the recommended standards of care are clear.
