Description:
The purpose of this program is to advance leading-edge, nursing-driven models of care that will improve the health and health care of vulnerable populations, including the economically disadvantaged, racial and ethnic minorities, LGBTQ people, the homeless, rural populations, and other groups that encounter barriers to accessing health care services. The funding agency seeks bold, evidence-based, patient- and family-centered approaches that challenge conventional strategies, improve health outcomes, lower costs, and show potential for national replicability. Projects must address the health care needs of vulnerable populations in the areas of maternal and child care, care of older adults, and chronic illness management.
