Funding Opportunities
Advancing Health Disparities Interventions Through Community-Based Participatory Research (NIH)
Deadline: August 18, 2015
The overarching goals of the NIMHD Community-Based Participatory Research (CBPR) Program are to enhance community capacity in research for which they will directly benefit; support collaborative intervention projects addressing health disparities; and accelerate the translation of findings into improved health and health outcomes. The purpose of this FOA is to support promising community interventions using CBPR principles and approaches aimed at reducing and eventually eliminating health disparities.

Strategies to Increase Delivery of Guideline-Based Care to Populations with Health Disparities (NIH)
Deadline: June 21, 2018
This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) invites applications to conduct innovative and feasible studies to test strategies to accelerate the adoption of guideline-based recommendations into clinical practice among populations with health disparities. Applications that propose strategies with a focus on providers who care for clinical populations with excess burden of cardiovascular, lung, blood, and sleep diseases and disorders, in concert with the health care delivery systems in which they practice, are strongly encouraged. Applications that test systems, infrastructures, and strategies to implement guideline-based care for NHLBI disorders in clinical care settings are also of high programmatic interest.

DOCTORAL STUDENT OPPORTUNITY
Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) National Leadership Program Centers
Deadline: July 29, 2015
RWJF is developing four new boundary-spanning leadership programs that reflect our vision to work with others to build a national Culture of Health. This solicitation invites eligible applicants to serve as a national leadership program center for one or more of RWJF's new leadership programs.
The four new programs (and their working titles) are: RWJF Diversity in Health Policy Research [DHPR] will support a large cadre of doctoral students from diverse backgrounds whose research, connections, and leadership will contribute to a Culture of Health; RWJF Interdisciplinary Research Leaders [IRL] will support a network of researchers whose leadership and community-relevant, policy-relevant, and action-oriented research will help drive social change that helps to build a Culture of Health; RWJF Multisector Leaders for Health [MLH] will develop, harness, and leverage a diverse group of leaders representing key sectors (e.g., education, transportation, public health and policy, social work, business, community engagement, urban planning, and health care) who, as a result of this program, will take their leadership and influence to the next level to lead communities, organizations, and the nation toward a Culture of Health; RWJF New Clinical Scholars [NCS] will develop cohorts of networked clinicians who have attained a terminal clinical degree and who have the competencies and capabilities to lead transformative change that helps to build a Culture of Health in communities across the country.

REMINDER
Call for Papers
Special Issue of Journal of Social Work Practice in the Addictions - Substance Use and Violence
Deadline: September 15, 2015
Violence and substance abuse are widespread and interrelated problems that affect the health and wellbeing of individuals, families and communities. Researchers from social work and other disciplines have documented multiple connections between violence and substance use. Much of the early research focused on violence perpetration and alcohol. More recently scholars examine this relationship for a greater variety of substances (e.g. cocaine, and marijuana), wider forms of violence perpetration and victimization (e.g. intimate partner violence/dating violence, sexual assault, community violence, bullying, human trafficking), and populations (e.g. adolescents, adults, community-based samples, clinical samples). Despite growing attention to intersections among these issues, much remains to be learned. Click here for more information.

Research Publications & Data Resources
National Research Center on Hispanic Children and Families Brief - Improving Data Infrastructure to Recognize Hispanic Diversity in the United States
This brief examines 34 commonly used large-scale data sets, identifies which include recommended data elements key to understanding the diversity of the Hispanic population, and suggests steps national surveys should take to improve their description of the characteristics and experiences of Latinos in the United States.

The Commonwealth Fund Issue Brief & Interactive - Americans' Experiences with Marketplace and Medicaid Coverage
The latest Commonwealth Fund Affordable Care Act Tracking Survey finds the share of uninsured working-age adults was 13 percent in March-May 2015, compared with 20 percent just before the major coverage expansions went into effect. More than half of adults who currently have coverage either through the Affordable Care Act's (ACA's) marketplace plans or Medicaid expansion were uninsured prior to gaining coverage. Of those, more than 60 percent lacked coverage for one year or longer. More than six of 10 adults who used their new plans to obtain care reported they could not have afforded or accessed it previously. Majorities of people with ACA coverage who have used their plans express satisfaction with the doctors covered in their networks and are able to find physicians with relative ease. Wait times to get appointments with physicians in marketplace plans and Medicaid are comparable to those reported by other working-age adults. Click here for more information.

Opportunity for Public Comment - Soliciting Input into the NIH Science Vision for Health Disparities Research

NPR - Dylann Roof And The Stubborn Myth Of The Colorblind Millennial
A big survey by MTV last year found that most people age 14 to 24 do think racism is largely a bogeyman of the past, not one standing in the way today. Of course, every generation houses extremes, and most people Roof's age will never commit a hate crime. But the misperception that they're largely free of racial animus persists in many corners, and that's dangerous in itself. Click here for more information.
