Through the NIH Common Fund Community Partnerships to Advance Science for Society (ComPASS) program, NIH made 26 awards to community organizations and a coordinating center, totaling approximately $171 million over five years, pending the availability of funds.
NINR is pleased to be administering the coordinating center award.
The ComPASS program will enable research into sustainable solutions that promote health equity to create lasting change in communities across the nation. This first-of-its-kind community-led research program aims to study ways to address the underlying structural factors within communities that affect health, such as access to safe spaces, healthy food, employment opportunities, transportation, and quality health care.
