The American Heart Association (AHA) has committed $20 million to establish a Health Equity Research Network — an opportunity to significantly advance our understanding of the factors underlying the disproportionate impact of maternal mortality and morbidity on Black women, Native American women, and those living in rural areas. Because heart and vascular issues account for about half of these deaths, the AHA is uniquely positioned to address this critical issue.
Among the unique features of this grant mechanism:
- Focus on population(s) with documented disparities
- Applicant teams will submit 3-5 projects
- At least one project must incorporate the use of community-based participatory research (CBPR) into its research design.
- Network proposals must originate from academic institutions that focus on educating individuals from groups who are under-represented in science OR must partner with an institution focused on educating or serving under-represented individuals and communities (i.e., institution of higher learning focused on the education of Black/Hispanic/American Indian/non-White students or non-profit community hospital or other research/care institution that serves an underrepresented population).
Pre-proposals are due via email to StrategicAwards@heart.org
and must use the template provided.
