Adhia Receives K99 Award from NICHD!
|
Congratulations to CSDE Affiliate Dr. Avanti Adhia, a postdoctoral fellow at Harborview’s Injury Prevention and Research Center, who received a K99 Training and Research award from NICHD to study the effectiveness of intimate partner violence (IPV) laws in reducing the prevalence of adolescent IPV. This study will provide the largest and most comprehensive evaluation of IPV legislation to date. Findings will provide critical data on the effectiveness of school IPV policies in preventing adolescent IPV and actionable evidence for policy makers and agencies responsible for carrying out IPV policy implementation. Dr. Adhia wrote the first draft of her K99 during CSDE's Grant Writing Summer Program, too!

*NEW* Population Health Initiative COVID-19 Call for Proposals
The Population Health Initiative has launched its third call for rapid response COVID 19 pilot grants due to PHI by July 31. These pilot grants are targeted towards health equity research and partnerships with communities of color. CSDE is happy to support these initiatives with in-kind resources for research consultations and time, logistics, lab help, survey development, or access to computing resources. We can provide a letter of support that values that support for you, as part of a match. In some cases, we may be able to provide dollar support, up to $5,000, if the grant also aligns with our center grant mission. Several of the PHI goals also coincide with our research mission, including expanding reporting of racial and demographic data, improving understanding of the variation in infection by race and ethnicity, improving understanding in death and excess mortality by race and ethnicity, understanding the impact of the pandemic’s impact on housing, improving our understanding of the pandemic’s economic impact, etc. Please submit your requests to our seed grant portal. You may also contact Sara Curran or Steve Goodreau with your requests.
