Long-Term Effects of Disasters on Healthcare Systems in Populations with Health Disparities
Funding Application Due Date: 09/07/24
Opportunity Description
The overarching goal of this NOFO is to invite robust collaborative research focused on understanding the long-term effects of disasters on healthcare systems and care delivery that serve populations that experience health disparities, including the influence of risk factors or vulnerabilities of both the systems and the communities preceding the events. This initiative focuses on understanding the direct long-term effects of disasters on healthcare systems, specifically on the access, delivery, coordination, safety, and quality of healthcare services, physical and organizational infrastructure, healthcare workforce, and changes in healthcare needs and disparities of the communities they serve. As well as, identifying, testing and/or evaluating interventions based on strategies or best practices that healthcare systems or communities have implemented that promote appropriate system function and delivery of services during and after the disaster, maintenance of optimal continuity of care, and resilience of healthcare systems and populations for future events.
Applications are due September 7, 2024.
