Hillman Innovations in Care Program
Application: Jun 1, 2021
In 2021, the Hillman Innovations in Care Program will focus on advancing innovative, nursing-driven models of care that address racism and its impact on health in communities who have historically struggled against oppression, discrimination and indifference, including:
- People who are economically disadvantaged
- Black, Indigenous and People of Color (BIPOC)
- People who identify as LGBQT+
- Individuals who are homeless
- Low income rural populations
Proposals should:
- Seek to mitigate the effects of racism on health and/or narrow gaps in health equity
- Identify and address sources of racism that affect health
- Challenge conventional strategies for delivering and improving care to populations affected by racism
- Build trust and credibility in programs or systems of care
- Are informed by anti-racism practices
- Present strong preliminary evidence
- Show potential for broad replicability
Priority consideration will be given to proposals that include one or more of the following:
- Engagement of patients, families, caregivers, and community organizations
- Inter-professional or multidisciplinary collaboration
- Investigators from diverse backgrounds or with diverse life experiences
- Methodologies and metrics for advancing anti-racism models of care
- Measurable goals and outcomes
