Health Equity & Inclusion Seed Program

The Health Equity & Inclusion Seed Program is currently accepting grant applications from departments with ideas for projects that use “cutting-edge approaches to generate new findings and resources to eliminate health disparities.” Applications for funding will be considered by a diverse committee convened by the the Office of Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging, which includes representation by SHARE members Kona Enders and Tameka McDaniel Vasquez.
