Description:

Telligen Community Initiative (TCI) is deeply committed to the health of our communities, funding programs and nonprofits that address social determinants that impact health and enhance equity, thereby helping to making healthcare education more accessible while also fostering innovation. TCI seeks to support projects that:

Are at the intersection of and connect clinical and community-based work; and
Build on collaborations to address underserved populations and recognize the role of the social determinants of health within the design of project plans and proposal development.

TCI’s funding priorities are as follows:

Social Determinants of Health/Health Equity- This funding area believes in advancing health equity through novel approaches to positively address the conditions in which people are born, grow, live, work, and age.
Healthcare Workforce Development – This funding area understands that the health workforce shortages and aging population will require progressive and fundamental reshaping of health roles and the way in which patient care is delivered, especially for primary care. TCI envisions change in the point of care and the roles of the interdisciplinary direct care team being factored into the needs of the future healthcare workforce.

**All current TCI grants are for periods of one year.
