Purpose:
The Hillman Emergent Innovation Program provides grants to accelerate the development of creative nursing-driven interventions that will improve the health and healthcare of marginalized populations. Projects should address racism and its impact on health. Target populations include Black, Indigenous and People of Color (BIPOC), the economically disadvantaged, LGBTQ+ people, people experiencing homelessness, low-income rural populations, refugee, and immigrant populations.
The program seeks proposals for creative, early-stage nursing-driven interventions that:
- 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
- Show potential for scalability
Additional priority consideration will be given to proposals that include one or more of the following:
- Build trust and credibility in programs or systems of care
- Strong partnerships with community organizations
- Engagement of patients, caregivers, and communities in the design of the intervention
- Inter-sectoral, inter-agency, and multidisciplinary collaboration including investigators from different disciplines
- Investigators from diverse backgrounds or with diverse life experiences
- Methodologies and metrics for advancing health equity
- Provision of care in non-hospital settings
- Measurable goals and outcomes
