Geographic disparities refer to differences in health, education, income, and other social and economic indicators that exist between different geographic regions. This research area focuses on understanding why these disparities exist, how they impact populations, and what can be done to address or reduce them. Researchers may study factors such as access to resources, infrastructure, social services, and economic opportunities, as well as how historical, political, and cultural factors contribute to geographic disparities. The goal of this research is to inform policy and programs that can help to create more equitable outcomes for individuals and communities across different geographic areas.
