The NIH has awarded a five-year, $7.7-million grant to a project I am leading on investigating barriers to #accesstocare for #sicklecelldisease care. I am thrilled to be part of these efforts. #uabmedicine https://t.co/ifwk3Z75i8
Thrilled to share that #AHRQ is funding my K08 on addressing disparities in the provision of care for children in rural hospials. Thanks to my amazing mentors, JoAnna Leyenaar and Larry Kessler, and the incredible team of people that have supported my career journey! #PHMResearch
