The National Institute for Minority Health and Health Disparities awarded The Rand Corporation $584,668 on September 1, 2026, under the Minority Health and Health Disparities Research program (CFDA 93.307) to conduct research on public health insurance and mortality among people with disabilities. The research will characterize all-cause and cause-specific mortality patterns among people with disabilities, examining variation by self-reported disability, SSA-defined primary impairment, race and ethnicity, sex, education, and rurality. The recipient will employ quasi-experimental methods to estimate how Medicaid expansion and automatic enrollment of Supplemental Security Income recipients affect insurance coverage and mortality, with exploratory analyses examining realized access to care, healthcare utilization, and self-reported health. The project will use stratified and machine-learning methods to identify populations experiencing larger, smaller, or no changes in coverage, care, and mortality, linking coverage changes to downstream changes in care and health to determine where insurance coverage alone is sufficient and where additional supports such as outreach, navigation, care coordination, or quality improvements may be needed. Work is performed in Arlington, Virginia. The period of performance extends from September 1, 2026, through April 30, 2031. This is a Project Grant, an assistance type.
