We're prepared to serve the unique health needs of every community.




We currently award three $10,000 grants per year to fund physician-led or community-led projects to promote clinical health equity for the patients we serve, local community health efforts, and workforce equity in the Brigham and Women’s Hospital workspace.



We want to hear from you! Share a community concern, ask about the Spark Grant application process, or tell us what more we can do to help.

Health Care for Every Community
The Office of Ideas in the Department of Emergency Medicine at Brigham and Women’s Hospital understands individual differences can be critical to delivering care that best meets our patients' needs. Diversity is not only racial, it’s multi-dimensional, encompassing race and ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, religion, and more. Through education, community service, and innovation we will create an collaborative, innovative, and comprehensive approach to fostering inclusion of all people.
