Call For Applications: Demographic Data Collection Pilot Project

CTC-RI together with RIDOH/EOHHS and the CDC are pleased to offer up to fifteen (15) primary care practices the opportunity to participate in a new Demographic Data Collection Pilot Project. Participating practices will conduct a Baseline Needs Assessment and participate in a Train-the-Trainer Demographic Data Collection Best Practice Webinar Series. Practices will be provided with a stipend of up to $4,100 per practice site. Improving demographic data collection is a foundational activity for promoting health equity and addressing COVID-19 health disparities. The goal of this project is to increase capacity of primary care provider organizations to collect high-quality data and report it effectively, with a focus on populations experiencing a disproportionate burden of COVID-19 infection including medically underserved, BIPOC (Black, indigenous and People of Color) community members, and people living in rural communities, groups that are more effectively served in a language other than English, veterans, people who are unhoused or housing insecure, the LGBTG+ community and people living with disability. Applications are due by July 28. Learn more and apply.
