After all is said and done, a lot more is said than done. Health equity requires action. We hope the impetus for action will be embodied in the next NIH director.

Being able to create funding systems that value the voices, experiences and leadership of communities is critical to relevant evidence-informed research, addressing health inequities and creating a health system that works for ALL - especially communities most impacted by oppressive systems.

Community engagement is essential across the full spectrum of science: from bench to bedside to community to policy. Authentic engagement would also help NIH demonstrate trustworthiness.

Community engagement in research is the future of medical and public health science. For too long it has been a nice to have or on the back burner. If we want to improve community and individual health, we must have leadership that values and supports community engagement.

We must have a commitment to the science of community engagement at the level of the Director if NIH is to successfully build the public's trust in science and evidence-based practice in health and public health.
