ACP, other leading health organizations commit another $400,000 to health equity
The "Building Trust Through Diversity, Health Care Equity & Inclusion in Internal Medicine Training" grant program will support interprofessional projects focused on improving trust and advancing health equity in the health care system.
The American Board of Internal Medicine (ABIM) Foundation's "Building Trust Through Diversity, Health Care Equity & Inclusion in Internal Medicine Training" grant program is dedicating an additional $400,000 for internal medicine residents, fellows, and faculty working to eliminate inequity, bringing the total allocated to more than $1.6 million since 2021.
Sponsored by the Alliance for Academic Internal Medicine (AAIM), ABIM, the ABIM Foundation, ACP, and the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation, the "Building Trust Through Diversity, Health Care Equity & Inclusion in Internal Medicine Training" grant program supports interprofessional projects focused on improving trust and advancing health equity in the health care system.
A total of $100,000 will be distributed among projects designed to enhance diagnostic excellence and address disparities from economic/education status, gender, sexual orientation, race, ethnicity, geography, age, and disability.
The remaining funds will be available for two types of projects to promote trust and equity:
- education-driven proposals that focus on providing training, skill, and competency acquisition; and
- proposals that focus on engineering care delivery.
Prospective grantees must provide letters of intent by March 18, 2024. Selected applicants will be invited to submit a formal proposal. Grants of $10,000, $20,000, and $40,000 will be awarded in late summer 2024.
