NIH Community Listening Sessions to Transform Health Disparities and Advance Equity

We invite you to participate in the NIH Common Fund’s Transformative Health Disparities Research Community Listening Sessions Series. We want you to share your perspectives on opportunities, challenges, and community needs related to interventions targeting social determinant factors that influence health disparities including education, healthcare, financial resources, neighborhood environments, and social context.   

The listening sessions series will bring together members from various stakeholder groups. Community-based organizations, tribal communities, faith-based organizations, advocacy organizations, professional societies, foundations, colleges, and universities will help identify new solutions and inform the development of interventions to address health disparities and advance health equity.

This series is hosted by the NIH Common Fund’s Transformative Research to Address Health Disparities and Advance Health Equity Initiative working group.
