Systems to Build Health Equity During COVID-19;
August 5, 2020
Agency

Wood Johnson Foundation
Description
The
need to identify successful system alignment strategies has become increasingly
urgent in the wake of the SARS-CoV-2 virus pandemic that causes COVID-19. This
pandemic places people with unmet health and social needs at heightened risk of
infection and complications, while propagating unmet needs through job losses,
school and business closures, occupational risks, and social distancing
policies. This call for proposals (CFP) will provide supplemental research
funding to teams that are already engaged in the study of a promising system
alignment mechanism, with the objective of learning how this mechanism performs
in addressing health and social needs during the COVID-19
pandemic.
Note:
Eligible teams must have an active or recently completed research study (within
12 months of application submission) that can be extended through the use of
supplemental research funding. This CFP is appropriate for studying an existing
system alignment mechanism implemented prior to the arrival of the COVID-19
pandemic, and about which some pre-COVID evidence has already been created by
the applicant. Studies funded through the S4A program must test a specific
system alignment mechanism that engages all three of the sectors referenced in
this call—medical care, public health, and social
services.
