• Improving outcomes and reducing health care disparities
• Increasing access to care and reducing barriers to care for individuals from all racial and ethnic backgrounds

Proposals should include specific measurable metrics and may require data sharing agreements and/or IRB approvals before funding is allocated.

Competitive proposals will leverage UIC’s expertise in population health, public policy, social justice, design, science and engineering, and enhance the services of patients in OSF Little Company of Mary Hospital and clinics located in Evergreen Park, IL.

Projects that identify matching funding from federal, state, or other organizations will be regarded favorably.
