On the second day of our 2019 Fall Forum meeting, Translating Evidence Into Action: Data-Driven Approaches to Achieving Health Equity, GIH convened grantmakers to explore innovative ways to use data to advance health equity, promote community engagement, and drive policy change. Expert speakers and participating health funders contributed to a rich, wide ranging discussion of philanthropic strategies to both build a stronger evidence base and utilize that knowledge more effectively to achieve health equity goals.
