The Race Matters Consortium web-site is made possible, in part, by a grant from the Casey Alliance on Racial Equity to the Rockville Institute.

Introduction

One important aspect of addressing issues of racial disproportionality and disparities, and achieving racial equity, is a tool box of proven policies, practices, and interventions. In this phase of the heightened awareness throughout the country we begin to see documents discussing “Promising Practices” that offer different levels of information regarding the practice’s evidence base. With this effort, the Race Matters Consortium hopes to contribute to problem solving by identifying efforts that are culturally sensitive and present them in a way that both policy makers and practitioners are able to identify relevant tools to meet their needs and use them accordingly.
