The goal is to better understand and explore effectiveness of clinical intervention approaches for addressing surgical disparities, while employing multi-level strategies at the institutional and systems level.

The goal of this opportunity is to invite exploratory, novel studies that break new ground or extend previous discoveries toward new directions in understanding and addressing disparities in surgical care and outcomes, including the factors that influence the disparities.
