Methods: The committee addressed barriers to health equity research and funded $1.5 million of research. Results: These actions facilitated dialogue, shifted research infrastructure, and piloted strategies to enhance health equity impacts through consultation and feedback. We provide an overview of projects funded and highlight one to demonstrate impact.
