Show full summary
- Families and communities of color would see more focused research, public data, and pilot interventions. The CDC could award grants and establish at least three regional centers in minority communities to develop and test antiracist public health solutions.
- Public health researchers and agencies would get a federal clearinghouse for comprehensive, disaggregated data and new standards for surveys, training, and best practices. The bill also creates advisory and leadership councils to embed antiracism into agency work.
- People affected by police violence and Tribal Nations would gain a law enforcement violence prevention program to study uses of force, develop public health interventions, and recommend alternatives to policing. The text requires Tribal consultation and respect for Tribal data sovereignty and an annual report to Congress.

CDC program to study police violence
If enacted, HHS would set up a law enforcement violence prevention program in the CDC’s injury center. It would study uses of force, test ways to reduce harm, and fund research by governments, schools, and community groups. It would create at least three regional centers in racial and ethnic minority communities and work with the Justice Department to standardize data. The program would send Congress a yearly report with findings and recommendations. Congress could fund it with “such sums as necessary.”
Proposed CDC center on racism and health
If enacted, this would create a National Center on Antiracism and Health at the CDC. It would fund noncompetitive grants to public and nonprofit groups, collect and publish detailed, privacy‑protected data, and set training and best‑practice standards. It would open at least three regional centers in racial and ethnic minority communities and consult Tribes while respecting Tribal data sovereignty. The Center would post a public report at least every two years. Congress could fund it with “such sums as necessary.”
