Update #2 · Latest ·
The Office of the Assistant Secretary for Health(OASH) and the Office of Minority Health (OMH) announce the availability of funds for Fiscal Year (FY) 2021 under the authority of 42 U.S.C. § 300u-6 (Section 1707 of the Public Health Service Act). OMH is dedicated to improving the health of racial and ethnic minority populations through the development of health policies and programs that will help eliminate health disparities. Through its demonstration grants, OMH supports the identification of effective approaches for improving health outcomes with the ultimate goal of promoting dissemination and sustainability of these approaches. This initiative is aligned with the HHS priority on SDOH, the OASH priority on health disparities, and HHS Strategic Goal 4: Foster sound sustained advances in the science.(1)
Update #1 ·
The HHS Office of Minority Health anticipates funding for projects to determine if existing local data intermediaries can: (1) facilitate data sharing and utilization activities, including accessing, linking, assembling and analyzing neighborhood social determinants of health data and local health data, to further the community's understanding of health disparities; and (2) increase community stakeholder skill and utilization to apply data to make data-driven decisions to address health disparities among racial and ethnic minority populations. OMH expects the projects funded through this initiative to result in: (1) increased accessibility, availability and linkage of neighborhood and community-level datasets in local communities; (2) increased utilization by data users of integrated neighborhood-level and community-level social determinants of health and health data to develop local policies, programs and practices to improve population health; and (3) increased capacity of data users to make data-informed decisions. BACKGROUND: Challenges for health and social care systems in accessing shared data include lack of: (1) robust data sharing infrastructure; (2) data standards for SDOH; and (3) interoperability among data systems. Federal, state and local government and health and social service providers collect various SDOH/social need and health data but do not often share the data across organizations. Racial and ethnic minority populations, especially in communities highly impacted by COVID-19, could benefit greatly by community-level data sharing and integration.
