Philanthropic funding is needed now more than ever. This funding is essential for supporting disabled academics doing disability health equity work. We train the next generation, advance methods, and develop data infrastructure. Disabled academics are facing profound setbacks & few options.

Thank you @metrauxjulia.bsky.social! Our work, and that of so many others, is in jeopardy. It is time for philanthropic orgs to commit to funding disability-led health equity efforts, especially in academia where attacks are coming from all sides.

Data can drive justice or deepen inequities. Join CRDJ Director of Research & Policy, Kate Caldwell, and a powerhouse panel featuring Bonnielin Swenor, Rylin Rodgers, Elizabeth Lockwood, Charlotte McClain-Nhlapo to discuss the intersection of disability data justice, AI, and global technology.

Thank you so much for sharing!!

These are follow-up actions to our recommendations and report on improving the inclusion of people with disabilities across NIH efforts. www.acd.od.nih.gov/documents/pr...

Major shout-out to @bonnieswenor.bsky.social (and the Disability Health Equity Research Network folks who *aren't* on Bsky) for their fierce advocacy and leadership around both this and the NIH's designation of people with disabilities as a population experiencing health inequities.

We did it!! Thank you to all who fought for people with disabilities to be counted! www.npr.org/2024/02/06/1...
