Join us during University Research Week as we honor Carmen Samuel-Hodge, RD, PhD, the inaugural winner of the Gillings Health Equity Faculty Research Award. This award recognizes faculty who demonstrate excellence in research that has made a substantial impact on improved equitable outcomes or sustained reduction in inequities in a pressing public health issue.
This session on health equity research is co-sponsored by the Gillings School, the Center for Health Equity Research and the Institute of African American Research. Samuel-Hodge will receive her award and give a presentation, followed by presentations from Lauren Brinkley-Rubinstein, PhD, of the Department of Social Medicine and Shauna Cooper, PhD, of the Department of Psychology and Neuroscience.
Moderators: Associate Dean for Inclusive Excellence Kauline Cipriani, PhD, and Associate Dean for Research Penny Gordon-Larsen, PhD.
