Grant Support for Reframe
in Partnership with the ABIM Foundation

The ABIM Foundation’s 2020 Forum sought to increase awareness of the relationship between trust and health equity - and continued to meet over the past year to discuss a variety of trust-building ideas and ways to implement them. Following this, AFFIRM at the Aspen Institute has been awarded a grant to support our work on Reframe.
