    CSWE Government Relations (GR) is sharing the following funding opportunity from the National Institutes of Health (NIH). CSWE GR is able to provide high-level context about this opportunity.

    The National Institute on Minority Health and Health Disparities (NIMHD) has released a solicitation for the fiscal year (FY) 2022 Understanding and Addressing Misinformation among Populations that Experience Health Disparities grant program. This solicitation aims to frame the spread of misinformation and disinformation as part of the public health crisis and utilize multidisciplinary research to acknowledge the role that structural racism, distrust, and marginalization of communities has as a part of the crisis. Furthermore, the initiative will support research to:

    • "Understand the underlying mechanisms, and
    • Test interventions to mitigate the impact of related misinformation and disinformation on health disparities and the populations that experience health disparities. Ultimately, this research will inform public health practice".


    The application deadline for this funding opportunity is November 14, 2022, and letters of intent are due by October 13, 2022.  Applicants are encouraged to apply early.  NIMHD will be hosting a pre-application technical assistance webinar on May 6, 2022 at 3pm ET.  More detailed information regarding the solicitation can be found here.
