Grant: Planning and Dissemination Grant - Institute Community Support

We are applying for funds to develop a grant application that will comparatively study efforts to decrease health inequalities and improve people's health. Those efforts are called population health interventions. Research on population health interventions has been limited because it has not looked carefully at how context affects population health interventions. To prepare for the grant application we will develop a conceptual framework for how the social sciences (1) understand context and (2) can work together with public health researchers on population health interventions. We will apply that framework in our grant application which explores how understanding and researching context from a social science perspective can improve population health interventions.
