Description
This opportunity supports projects that radically advance health equity by exploring and experimenting with new, unconventional ideas to transform systems that perpetuate inequity. The program encourages visionary thinkers from diverse backgrounds—science, technology, community leadership, the arts, and more—to anticipate how emerging social, cultural, scientific, technological, environmental, and economic trends could shape the future of health for all. Emphasis is placed on dismantling structural racism, reimagining the Health Science Knowledge System, and ensuring that knowledge and evidence guiding health decisions are rooted in equity and justice. Projects should challenge conventional wisdom, surface new possibilities, and experiment with approaches that could meaningfully improve health outcomes and community wellbeing for generations to come.
