CHER receives $21M grant to continue work in health equity
The grant will allow the Center for Health Equity Research to continue the Southwest Health Equity Research Collaborative for another five years. The results of the first five years of SHERC are unmatched: 72 projects, $40 million of external grants, dozens of community partnerships and answers to critical health questions about COVID-19, cancer, opioids and more. Upcoming projects include creating a better model to predict the spread of COVID-19 and other infectious diseases, increasing physical activity among people incarcerated in jails and studying how the gut microbiome can influence asthma, of which poor urban Arizona communities have disproportionately high rates.
