Underserved populations vary greatly across the United States, and include racial and ethnic minorities, rural and urban communities, LGBTQ+, veterans, and individuals with disabilities. In such a broad and complex group of communities, there are different factors that lead to and sustain a lack of trust in health care. These factors may include historical marginalization, lack of cultural awareness, lack of appropriately tailored information and the spread of misinformation.
The main objective of the NIH Build Underserved Populations (UP) Trust Challenge is to develop new approaches to improve engagement with underserved populations with a focus on building and increasing trust within these populations to engage and adopt community-based strategies that increase the detection, treatment, and management of health conditions.
The deadline to register to participate in the Build UP Trust Challenge is 5:00 PM Eastern Time on Tuesday, November 14, 2023.
