HAF supports the science base by increasing the number of researchers who as a means of achieving the best health for all examine the health and well-being of Hispanics. As a result, HAF seeks funding to support researchers.

​

The goal of the Healthy Americas Research Consortium (HARC) is to fund and create opportunities for researchers who focus on the experience and health of underserved communities.

​

In 2022-2023 HARC supported 10 scholars conducting research on cervical cancer; experiences with accessing Pap and HPV screening; and, effective approaches to increasing Pap and HPV screening in Hispanic and other underserved communities. In February of 2024, HAF announced a new round of funding to support up to 10 scholars conducting research about chronic diseases in Hispanic communities. Each scholar received $10,000 to support their research project. All projects were based on data in whole or in part from the National Institutes of Health’s All of Us Research Hub, a major national source of data on health and well-being. In December 2024 grants were awarded to 13 teams of researchers focused on chronic diseases in Hispanic communities by examining the role of contributory causes, including biological, behavioral, social, and environmental factors; health care access; and/or the intersection of mental health and chronic disease.
