The University of Arkansas, Fayetteville has been awarded a Project Grant under the National Institute on Minority Health and Health Disparities' Minority Health and Health Disparities Research program (CFDA 93.307) to conduct research on how adverse provider conditions, such as workplace demands, health concerns, and inflammation, impact provider bias and healthcare disparities for racial and ethnic minority patients. The $1,601,966 award, with a performance period from September 2024 to May 2029, will support a study using correlational, randomized controlled, and longitudinal designs to address three specific aims around the effects of adverse provider conditions on quality of care disparities. This research project aims to identify modifiable factors that contribute to provider bias, with the goal of informing novel interventions to reduce healthcare disparities.
The University of New Mexico Health Sciences Center (UNM HSC) is serving as a sub-awardee on this project, with responsibilities including subject recruitment, study coordination, data collection and analysis, and manuscript preparation. UNM HSC will receive $389,046 under the sub-award to support these activities over the project's first four years.
