The Doris Duke Foundation (DDF) has been working with core partners to address this problem with Racial Equity in Clinical Equations, a new initiative launching with a landmark convening and the largest ever investment in gathering the evidence necessary to inform change. As a partner with Doris Duke Foundation and three other funded Civic Science fellow hosts, UAEM is co-designing a project that positions our Civic Science Fellow, Luyi Adesanya, to build a strategic coalition to bring together funders, medical societies, scientists and others to advance the uptake of new clinical equations.

UAEM’s goal in this space is to increase awareness of the problem within the medical research community, to build support for the examination and revision of clinical algorithms that improperly use race, and to generate evidence that can inform new guidelines to help shape clinical equations that improve health care outcomes.
