New NIH Common Fund Initiatives in Health Disparities Research

NIH Ending Structural Racism initiative

The NIH launched a new effort called UNITE, to end structural racism and racial inequities in biomedical research. The NIH Common Fund is part of the UNITE effort to develop new initiatives to bolster innovation, solve challenges, and address emergent opportunities in health disparities research.

The Common Fund will issue two new funding announcements as part of UNITE. The objectives of these initiatives are to:

  1. Foster the development, testing, and dissemination of innovative interventions focused on elimination of health disparities broadly and in high priority areas, and
  2. Increase the competitiveness of investigators and the research base dedicated to health disparities research at minority serving institutions.

The concept for these initiatives was cleared at the Advisory Committee to the NIH Director (ACD) on February 26, 2021. Visit the Transformative Research to Address Health Disparities and Advance Health Equity page for information on these initiatives as it becomes available.

If you have questions about the Common Fund's Transformative Health Disparities Research initiatives, please email your questions to CFHealthDisparities@nih.gov.
