Research Currently in Progress
“University of Illinois Chicago Maternal Health Research Center of Excellence” aims to address maternal mortality and morbidity by establishing a Center with three Cores: Research-Data, Community Partnership, and Training. This project is funded by a NIH U54.
“Multilevel exposure to adversity across the life-course: Quantifying biological implications in urban postpartum women” is an explanatory sequential mixed methods design that employs a quantitative phase examining how exposure to stress and social and environmental adversity impacts biological pathways, followed by a qualitative phase. This project is funded by an NIH R01-level grant.
“State Maternal Health Innovation Program” aims to 1) establish a state-focused Maternal Health Task Force and develop a Maternal Health Strategic Plan; 2) improve state-level data and surveillance; 3) promote and execute innovation in maternal health service delivery; and 4) plan and execute performance measurement, program evaluation and continuous quality improvement to demonstrate program progress and impact. This project is funded by HRSA.
“Illinois Pediatric Mental Health Care Access Expansion Program” aims to expand psychiatric consultation services provided across the State to children and adolescents, provide a multitude of mental health education and training opportunities to physicians and health care professionals, and strengthen the network of mental health resources and referrals accessible to providers and their patients. This project is funded by HRSA and the Illinois Department of Public Health.
