The DASH Incubator was a 2024-2025 funding and support program for organizations participating in multisector collaborations working toward equitable data-sharing. With this new brief series, readers will get to learn more about participants' transformative work in their communities.

As the DASH program office looked back at 2024, we found that some interrelated themes have emerged from the projects we’ve undertaken this past year in collaboration with our partners: intentionality as a key stance, relationship as a key orientation, and co-design as a key dynamic.

DASH has launched its latest funding and support program, which seeks to explore equitable data governance, equitable grantmaking, and policy that impacts systems change.

The Incubator’s goal is to advance equity in data ecosystems – and in grantmaking – by lifting up the priorities and leveraging the expertise of community-based organizations, and, crucially, of the community members they serve.

Data Across Sectors for Health (DASH) is excited to introduce the Incubator, a unique grant and support program, available for past grantees, that will advance equity in data ecosystems.
