Committee to Co-Chair NIH Efforts on Social Determinants of Health
October, 2022
The NIH stands up an official Executive Committee (EC) and Research Coordinating Center (RCC) to coordinate NIH efforts on social determinants of health (SDoH). The co-chairs are the Directors of NINR, NIMHD, and OBSSR. The overall goal of the NIH SDoH RCC is to accelerate NIH-wide SDOH research across diseases and conditions, populations, stages of the life course, and SDoH domains, domestically and globally. The purpose of the SDOH EC is to advance a coordinated SDoH research agenda across the NIH by advising, directing, and supporting the activities of the RCC.
