Research shows that intersecting systems of privilege and oppression produce and sustain wide and unjust variations in health. The Axes Initiative will support research to understand health at the intersections of social statuses such as race, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, sexual orientation, and ability, by examining contributions of social and other determinants of health.
Through this funding opportunity (RFA-NR-24-006), NINR solicits research to examine how social determinants of health (SDOH) influence health outcomes at the intersection of social statuses in populations experiencing health disparities in the United States. All studies must be guided by an intersectionality framework to identify the hypothesized pathways and mechanisms between intersecting social statuses and health outcomes.
This NOFO requires a Plan for Enhancing Diverse Perspectives (PEDP), which will be assessed as part of the scientific and technical peer review evaluation. Applications that fail to include a PEDP will be considered incomplete and will be withdrawn.
