N1 - Funding Information: Conflict of Interest Disclosures: Dr Johnston reported receiving grant funding from the National Institute of Mental Health (R01MH125820) and National Institute on Aging (R21AG065526); having a pending grant relevant to the scope of this work; and serving as a volunteer for L’Arche St. Louis, a nonprofit community organization that provides services and advocacy for individuals with intellectual disabilities. Dr Chin reported receiving grants from the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality and the Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute; that he co-chairs the Health Equity Advisory Team for the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services Health Care Payment Learning and Action Network; and is a member of the Bristol Myers Squibb Health Equity Advisory Board, the Blue Cross Blue Shield Health Equity Advisory Panel, the National Advisory Council of the National Institute on Minority Health and Health Disparities, and the Health Disparities and Health Equity Working Group of the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK). Dr Pollack reported having a pending grant relevant to the scope of this work and that he is guardian of an adult who lives with an intellectual disability. Funding Information: No National Institutes of Health (NIH) agency is dedicated primarily to studying IDDs. Furthermore, the NIH does not recognize individuals with IDDs as a health disparity group, making such research ineligible for funding by the National Institute on Minority Health and Health Disparities (NIMHD). Funding Information: Funding/Support: Dr Chin was supported in part by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Advancing Health Equity: Leading Care, Payment, and Systems Transformation National Program Office, the Merck Foundation Bridging the Gap: Reducing Disparities in Diabetes Care National Program Office, and the Chicago Center for Diabetes Translation Research (NIDDK P30 DK092949).
