United Hospital Fund Healthcare Improvement Grant
SUNY Downstate, the Arthur Ashe Institute for Urban Health, and the Brooklyn Borough President's Office worked collaboratively and prepared a joint application seeking funding from the United Hospital Fund to support identification of support sources and preparation of grant proposals to develop a Health and Disparities Center. The application was successful in obtaining a $50,000 grant to hire a project manager to assist with structuring the Institute's master plan, assess which community-based organizations would be appropriate partners, and apply for identified grants, as well as explore further funding opportunities.
