A few broad reporting themes that the Centre supports:
They embrace a broad view of health, which doesn’t just happen at doctor’s offices and hospitals. Health is shaped by their environment — their schools, their neighborhoods and their communities. They strive to admit Fellows whose work reflects that.
- Systemic racism and root causes of health inequities
- Domestic violence as a public health issue
- School-to-prison pipeline as a health issue
- Social determinants of health
Whether their justice system, their schools and health systems serve all Californians – and who is left out or disproportionately harmed.
Systemic barriers to health tied to race, poverty, and economic opportunity
Eligibility Criteria
