| Round 2 Grantees
During our second round of grantmaking, a total of 134 project proposals were received from health care leaders around the country—including hospitals, community health centers and universities. These projects proposed efforts to evaluate a wide range of interventions, some of which involved telephone and internet technologies, nurses, community organizations, and provider incentive programs. Together, they provide a snapshot of current efforts around the country to reduce racial and ethnic disparities.
In May 2008, ten sites were selected to receive up to $275,000 to evaluate their proposed interventions aimed at reducing disparities in the health outcomes of patients in their communities. Grantees will focus on cardiovascular disease, depression and diabetes; diseases where evidence of racial and ethnic disparities in care is strong and the recommended standards of care are clear.
