An exciting and remarkable funding opportunity from NIH supporting research on health disparities impacting people with disabilities caused by #ableism. This is a long-overdue mind shift for biomedical researchers and a much-needed area of research! grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/r…

🚨Recap: A VERY disappointing outcome. The Health Disparities committee admitted to NOT include anyone with a disclosed disability, yet made a significant decision on behalf of our community - they did not recommend the 'health disparity designation' be given to people with disabilities.

Today HHS.gov through HHS Civil Rights announced a proposed rule, updating its regulation implementing Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, that prohibits discrimination on the basis of disability. Join our live press conference at 12PM for more updates! hhs.gov/live/live-1/in…

Over 1900 signatures should send a message to Health Disparities - Include people with #disabilities as a health disparity population & fund much needed #Disability research to address disparities! #disabilityinclusion pipcpatients.org/resources/pipc…
