How they approach the work
Named approaches extracted from this org’s sources. Where others share an approach, follow it to see the full set of orgs running it.
- Applied Research with Operational Relevancemethodology: applied-researchBy focusing research on applied, operationally relevant insights, we produce actionable interventions that can be rapidly adopted into practice because real-world feasibility is prioritized over theoretical knowledge generation.
- Community-Driven Research for Systemic Solutionsmethodology: community-driven_grassroots_researchBy centering grassroots research led by community-based and patient advocacy organizations, we produce innovative and contextually relevant solutions to systemic health inequities because lived experience generates unique insights that traditional research models overlook.
- Evidence-Driven Health System Reformmethodology: evidence-driven reformBy designing and promoting health system reforms grounded in empirical evidence, we produce equitable improvements in access to diagnostics, treatments, and vaccines because data-informed policy change is more likely to address root causes of racial disparities in pandemic outcomes.
- Intersectional Analysis of Systemic Racism in Health Researchmethodology: intersectional_analysis_of_systemic_racismBy requiring research proposals to analyze systemic racism and intersectional factors such as age, disability, and cultural insensitivity, we produce more accurate diagnoses of health inequity because these layered factors compound disparities in ways single-axis analyses miss.
- Metrics-Driven Intervention Designmethodology: metrics-driven approachBy using quantitative metrics and advanced analytics to detect health inequities and identify intervention points, we produce targeted systemic improvements in healthcare delivery because measurable disparities enable precise, accountable reform.
