Addressing Social Determinants of Health through Cross-Sector Collaboration
Through working with a variety of stakeholders, from the California State Legislature to community-based advocacy groups, Cal-IHEA strives to produce work that pinpoints the root causes of health inequities such as disparities in transportation and access to healthy neighborhood food environments.

Improving Health Access for All Immigrants
Cal-IHEA currently funds four projects that examine how immigrants in California, including vulnerable populations such as agricultural workers and older adults, can access “safe spaces” of comprehensive health care.
Building a Workforce for Health Equity
Recognizing the immediacy of restructuring the state’s health workforce to ensure the highest attainable level of health for all Californians, Cal-IHEA has made “Building a Workforce for Health Equity” one of its priority areas.
Advancing Universal Health Insurance Coverage in California
A priority area of Cal-IHEA is to support research that examines pathways that ensure health care for all Californians, regardless of income, geography, and citizenship status.
The California Initiative for Health Equity & Action (Cal-IHEA) is a state-wide research translation center that provides a critical link between the University of California and the state's health policy community.
Created by the University of California Office of the President at the behest of the California Legislature, Cal-IHEA builds on the university's public service mission and seeks to improve health equity in California through the translation of University of California (UC) and California State University (CSU) faculty research evidence into policy and practice.
