Description

Care delivery, in which a patients health is viewed apart from their social context, must be reimagined to make meaningful improvements in health, eliminate health disparities, and advance health equity. The purpose of the Bridge-to-Care initiative is to promote research that links clinical care with community services and resources to address unmet social needs and adverse social conditions. More specifically, this funding opportunity invites intervention research studies, conducted in partnership with healthcare and community organizations, that address individuals' and families' unmet social needs and communities' adverse social conditions, with a focus on populations that bear an excess burden of morbidity and mortality.
