UNC Health – Health Equity
UNC Health – Health Equity
UNC Health is committed to health equity for all by working towards decreasing health disparities that have prevented equitable access to health care in the past. Diabetes, high blood pressure, stroke, cancers and many more illnesses and diseases disproportionately affect Black, indigenous and people of color in North Carolina. Here at UNC Health, health equity begins with addressing systemic disparities in healthcare through student and faculty recruitment, patient care and access, and collaborative research. From scholarships for the underrepresented in medicine, to funds for equity initiatives in our communities, to support for ongoing research into health disparities, we are committed to improving health and healthcare for our underserved communities.

UNC Autism Research Center
The mission of the UNC Autism Research Center is to accelerate autism research and discovery that will lead to the development of personalized treatments that improve the quality of life of autistic individuals across the lifespan. This virtual center seeks to
- Create opportunities for UNC autism research faculty to connect with their colleagues from research areas separate from their own
- Provide funding for interdisciplinary autism studies through pilot grant funding
- Work with UNC colleagues to expand funding opportunities for autism research at UNC
Awarding pilot grants for new and previously unfunded interdisciplinary research projects is a key mandate of the center. By funding interdisciplinary research, the center aims to stimulate interdisciplinary partnerships among UNC faculty and support them in generating pilot data for use in larger grants to the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and other external agencies.
By making a gift on GiveUNC, you can impact the lives of children and adults with autism by funding innovative and potentially groundbreaking autism research at UNC-Chapel Hill.
March 29 may be GiveUNC, but March 30 is Doctors’ Day!
Healthcare providers are constantly making a huge impact in our community and beyond, but even more so during the past two years of the pandemic. They have been working nonstop to care for us, so let’s show that we care for them!
Please consider making a gift in honor of an important healthcare provider in your life, and when you do, make sure to leave a note sharing why you chose to honor them.
