Description of Funding Opportunity

Research shows that intersecting systems of privilege and oppression produce and sustain wide and unjust variations in health. The Axes Initiative will support research to understand health at the intersections of social statuses such as race, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, sexual orientation, and ability, by examining contributions of social and other determinants of health.

Applicants are strongly encouraged to read the NOFO instructions carefully and view the available PEDP guidance material (https://braininitiative.nih.gov/vision/plan-enhancing-diverse-perspecti…)
