Call for Research Project for REACH Equity Center Renewal

The Duke Center for Research to Advance Healthcare Equity is seeking a research project and investigator to include in its renewal application (Spring of 2022). The Center currently supports three research projects related to the REACH Equity theme to address racial and ethnic disparities in health by developing and testing interventions that improve the quality of patient-centered care in the clinical encounter. The Center is inviting investigators to submit proposal ideas to include in the competing renewal application.

The project may include any disease, phase of illness and population. However, consistent with the REACH Equity theme, the project must occur in the clinical setting, address racial and ethnic disparities, and develop and/or test an intervention. Duke investigators with appropriate research experience of any rank and in any department, school, center, or institute may apply. In addition, REACH Equity is particularly committed to increasing diversity in the research workforce. Investigators from underrepresented racial and ethnic groups are encouraged to apply.

Full details are available online. If you are interested, please review the full project and investigator criteria and submit your proposal (two-page maximum) and CV for consideration by August 9, 2021. Submit materials to: Cheryl Miller at cheryl.j.miller@duke.edu.
