    The Department of Health and Human Services, through multiple NIH Institutes, has released a funding opportunity (PAR-23-112) aimed at addressing the impacts of Structural Racism and Discrimination (SRD) on minority health and health disparities. This initiative encourages intervention research focusing on SRD's influence on health outcomes among NIH-designated populations with health disparities, such as racial and ethnic minorities and socioeconomically disadvantaged groups. Proposed projects should document specific types of SRD, their effects, and hypothesized pathways to health outcomes, utilizing diverse data sources. Collaborations with various stakeholders, including community organizations, are necessary to ensure that interventions directly influence SRD's sources and promote sustainability. Applications are accepted via NIH's Grants.gov and are due by 5 PM local time, with several key submission deadlines outlined. Investigators are urged to adopt comprehensive research designs while also considering the local context and community needs as they develop their proposals. This funding initiative reflects a broader commitment to eliminating health disparities in the U.S. by comprehensively addressing the root causes of SRD.
