NIH CEAL Against COVID-19 Disparities Toolkit

The Community Engagement Alliance (CEAL) Against COVID-19 Disparities works to promote awareness and education research on COVID-19, especially among African Americans, Hispanics/Latinos, and American Indian communities by disseminating trustworthy information in the form of FAQ’s, fact sheets and other resources. CEAL is an NIH-wide effort led by the National Institute on Minority Health and Health Disparities (NIMHD) and the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI). “Addressing health disparities affecting racial and ethnic minority populations has long been a priority for NIH,” said NIH Director Francis S. Collins, M.D., Ph.D. “The burden of the COVID-19 pandemic borne by diverse communities, especially those that include Blacks and Latinos, makes clear the urgent need for treatments and vaccines that are effective for all Americans. Inclusive research that reflects the entire population is essential to this goal.” Learn more: https://covid19community.nih.gov/
