Goals

Our health equity and diversity research programs are aimed at understanding the causes and distribution of health disparities and developing interventions and solutions to address them. Closely related to this effort, we also work to increase the diversity of the health research workforce across all disciplines and areas of science. By understanding and addressing health disparities and promoting diversity and inclusion among the health research workforce, we work toward greater health equity for everyone.

Current Projects

Current studies include the UAB/Tuskegee Faculty Institutional Recruitment for Sustainable Transformation Partnership (UAB/TU FIRST Partnership), the UAB Obesity Health Disparities Research Center and the Deep South Center to Reduce Disparities in Chronic Diseases.
