Where you live
shouldn't dictate the quality of your healthcare
The National Alliance against Disparities in Patient Health (NADPH) is a nonprofit, health research organization applying scientific research and technology, community education and outreach, and advocacy to reduce health disparities and improve public health outcomes for our Nation. NADPH operates through a National partnership ecosystem that spans Government, Academic, Nonprofit, and Industry allies.
NADPH’s major objective is to Bridge the Gap in access to advanced, precision-based healthcare in underserved and under-resourced communities. NADPH seeks to do this by providing access to information, subject matter experts, and technology that help community members:
1) raise their awareness and education about the array of factors impacting their quality of health and healthcare;
2) capture, manage, and understand their health information across its various domains, and
3) use this increased knowledge and access more actionably to make better decisions about their health and healthcare.
Research and Technology Development, in collaboration with medical and healthcare systems, including patient advocacy organizations to conduct research on health disparities. Research extends to the usage of patient and environmental data to prevent and treat disparities. NADPH develops health information platform to enhance data sharing and analysis capabilities.
Patient Advocacy, Thought Leadership and Policy (ATP). In their work to provide community informed perspectives on the Community and Public Health Surveillance Data programs, NADPH has developed partnerships with the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), to be at the forefront of the collection of community perspectives on public health data processes, and provides input to congressional representatives on proposed health legislation.
AI Infrastructure Capacity and Workforce Diversification. NADPH leads the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning Consortium to Advance Health Equity and Researcher Diversity (AIM-AHEAD) Infrastructure Core, where it provides under-resourced and underrepresented institutions with AI infrastructure and computational resources to support health disparities research, and also works with universities and technology companies through internship programs to foster workforce diversity in STEM and AI.
