Rapid Response: Reinvesting in Racial and Indigenous Health Equity Research Grant

The Rapid Response: Reinvesting in Racial and Indigenous Health Equity Research Grant aims to support critical health equity research that has faced funding interruptions. With up to $5 million available, this grant focuses on assisting researchers who have previously received federal funding but experienced rescindment. The goal is to promote innovative, community-centered solutions that address the root causes of health disparities among racial and Indigenous populations.

Rapid Response: Reinvesting in Racial and Indigenous Health Equity Research
Introduction & Purpose
The purpose of this call for proposals (CFP) is to meet the current moment by supporting timely, actionable health equity research that has been interrupted by shifts in federal funding. We will award up to $5 million for Rapid Response Research grants to help at least partially offset federal funding losses to existing research.
Rapid Response Research funding is exclusively available to applicants who have already received federal funding (e.g., from the NIH, CDC, NSF) for their health equity research, but have since had their funding partially or fully rescinded due to federal administrative actions. While we will not re-scrutinize the scientific merits of projects that have lost federal funding, our intent is to support research consistent with Evidence for Action’s mission to advance community-centered, action-oriented racial and Indigenous health equity research that focuses on structural solutions that are innovative, push beyond the status quo, and target root causes.
