About health disparities grants

Health disparities grants fund work to close gaps in health outcomes across racial, ethnic, geographic, and income lines. The CDC's Racial and Ethnic Approaches to Community Health (REACH) program is a flagship federal source, with NIH and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation also funding research and community programs focused on health equity. These grants typically support culturally tailored prevention, community partnerships, and applied research into the causes of inequity.

Frequently Asked Questions

What grants are available to address health disparities?

Funding supports culturally appropriate prevention programs, community health initiatives, and research into the social and structural drivers of health gaps. The CDC's REACH program funds local programs that use proven strategies to reduce chronic-disease disparities, while NIH funds health-disparities and health-literacy research. Many grants emphasize community partnership and measurable reductions in outcome gaps.

Who funds health equity and disparities work?

The CDC is a central federal funder through REACH, which awards state and local health departments, tribes, universities, and community-based organizations. NIH funds disparities-focused research, and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation funds health-equity research and programs, including community-driven research it has supported in partnership with other funders. Eligible applicants for many of these programs include nonprofits, faith-based organizations, and tribal entities.

Does this funding support research, programs, or both?

Both. Some funders, like NIH, emphasize research that explains why disparities exist and what interventions work, while programs like the CDC's REACH fund the delivery of community-based prevention. Foundations such as the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation fund a mix of research and on-the-ground community work. Matching your proposal to a funder's specific emphasis is key to a competitive application.
