Abstract: Historically, only the Scholarships for Disadvantaged Students (SDS) Program collects disparity related data from applicants. This has improved the outcomes of the SDS Program. However, all of the programs in the Bureau provide disparity related data post-award. Being able to establish a baseline for BHW programs and include objective criteria related to health equity will expand the capacity of BHW to fund grantees to increase the representation and retention of underrepresented minorities (URMs) and disadvantaged individuals in education and training pathways as well as the health care workforce. Collecting disparity related data from BHW applicants would close a serious data gap. Collecting this data in the HRSA Electronic Handbook will help grant reviewers, policy makers and HRSA staff make decisions that advance the health equity mission of the Department. BHW will use this information to inform funding decisions, establish equitable policies, and make programmatic recommendations for underserved populations. The data proposed for collection will aid BHW in advancing equitable health outcomes.
