- This Project Grant award, in the amount of $477,000.00, was provided by the National Institute on Minority Health and Health Disparities (NIMHD) under the Minority Health and Health Disparities Research program (CFDA 93.307). The funding will support the development of an "Interactive Outbreak Simulator: A Robust and Customizable Platform for Socio-Epidemiological Insights" at the University of Texas at Austin. The key objectives of this project are to create a platform for modeling...
- The University of Oklahoma received a $485,952 project grant from the Department of Health and Human Services' National Institutes of Health National Institute for Minority Health and Health Disparities to study the effect of Medicaid expansion on mortality disparities and poverty. The grant aims to identify the relationship between Medicaid expansion and rural-urban ethnoracial disparities, and estimate the mediating role of poverty alleviation in this relationship. Key products and services to...
- The National Institute on Aging (NIA) awarded a $519,740 Project Grant to Washington State University to conduct the "Communicating Heath Advancements from Native Genetics Research (CHANGE Research)" project under the Aging Research federal grant program (CFDA 93.866). The project aims to partner with the United Indians of All Tribes Foundation to survey 500 American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) adults about their knowledge and perceptions of Alzheimer's disease and related...
- This $169,079 federal Project Grant awarded by the National Institute on Minority Health and Health Disparities (NIMHD) under the Minority Health and Health Disparities Research program (CFDA 93.307) is funding research to identify factors associated with variability in race/ethnicity documentation in emergency department (ED) settings and determine the impact of that variability on clinical outcomes. The research aims to develop strategies to improve the accuracy and reliability of...
- This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Minority Health and Health Disparities (CFDA 93.307 Minority Health and Health Disparities Research Program) provides $1,051,406.00 to the Rush River Research Corporation to develop a modern, culturally sensitive software tool to collect family health history information from African American communities. The tool aims to address higher mortality rates among African Americans for critical health conditions like heart disease, stroke,...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Minority Health and Health Disparities (NIMHD), under the Minority Health and Health Disparities Research federal grant program (CFDA 93.307), provides $1,188,725.00 to Emory University to develop improved methods for estimating mortality rates among American Indian/Alaska Native (AI/AN) populations in rural and tribal areas. The project aims to address significant data gaps in accurately capturing mortality statistics for these underserved populations, which often suffer from high rates of misclassification on death certificates and undercounting in U.S. Census data. The research approach combines Bayesian hierarchical small area disease mapping with measurement error methodologies to produce more accurate county-level AI/AN mortality estimates, with a focus on opioid-related deaths in Oklahoma. This work is intended to inform public health interventions and policies to address health disparities affecting tribal and rural AI/AN communities.
