The Community Research for Health Equity (CRHE) program seeks to elevate community voices and make the priorities of communities the primary goal of local health system transformation efforts. In 2022, ten grantees were awarded to address local health system issues of importance to communities of color, people with disabilities, LGBTQ+ individuals, and other historically marginalized populations.
In these interviews, the grantees reflect at the midpoint of their studies on the value of community-led research and how their work will inform changes in the health care system.
