Community-Engaged Health Equity Research in Neuroscience Initiative (HERN)

The Office of Global Health and Health Disparities (OGHHD) within the Division of Clinical Research, leads the coordination and development of the NINDS Community-Engaged Health Equity Research in Neuroscience (HERN) Initiative. The HERN is a multi-pronged approach to 1) Advance community-engaged health equity research across all neurological disease areas within populations that experience health disparities (HDP) and 2) Support collaborations, education, and capacity building to conduct such research. This initiative directly responds to recommendations from the NINDS Health Equity Strategic Plan which aim to reduce the disproportionate burden of disparities and inequities in neurological disorders.
