Grant Overview

The US Virgin Islands' healthcare delivery system faces significant barriers due to its geographic isolation and limited healthcare infrastructure. The territory's healthcare providers face challenges in delivering quality care, particularly in rural areas. The US Virgin Islands' healthcare workforce density stands at 41.1 per 10,000 population, compared to the US average of 45.6 per 10,000. Who Faces Barriers in the US Virgin Islands? Healthcare providers and patients in the US Virgin Islands face significant barriers, including limited access to specialized care and high staff turnover. The territory's rural healthcare providers face particular challenges, including limited resources and infrastructure constraints. How Funding Addresses Barriers: The research funding opportunity aims to support collaborative academic work between the University of the Virgin Islands and Caribbean health organizations. The research collaboration will focus on developing innovative healthcare delivery models that cater to the needs of the US Virgin Islands' diverse population. By supporting research collaborations, this funding aims to enhance the capacity of the US Virgin Islands' healthcare delivery system. Unlike neighboring Caribbean nations, the US Virgin Islands' unique status as a US territory requires tailored approaches to healthcare delivery.

Demographic anchors include the territory's diverse population and the high percentage of African Americans and other minority groups.
