Unrestricted Grants for improving Health Equity and reducing Health Disparities among Vulnerable Communities

The goal is to support the creation, augmentation, or aggregation of datasets that are representative of affected populations and are therefore less biased and more likely to lead to equitable health outcomes.

Given historic inequities related to race in the U.S., they are interested in datasets that could help reduce racial disparities in healthcare outcomes in the U.S., and datasets that can mitigate inequities in healthcare outcomes related to identity in LMICs (e.g. ethnicity, tribal affiliation, gender, etc.).
