- Investigate policies aimed at improving health and reducing barriers to care among rural and minority populations, especially persons experiencing poverty
- Assess the resources available to, and barriers experienced by, rural and safety net health care providers
- Promote the professional development of researchers and health care professionals to promote health equity
- Facilitate cross-disciplinary collaborations between researchers and community partners wishing to bridge research and practice
- Provide expert advice to national, state, and local government and to rural and minority constituency groups to empower policy development and advocacy
