In Fall 2018 CCHE announced its inaugural group of Health Equity Research Fellows. This class of Fellows was established to raise the visibility of health equity scholarship at UW-Madison, expand our research portfolio, and support new interdisciplinary research collaborations on campus.
All six Fellows presented their research at Health Equity Research Seminars this Spring which were attended by CCHE faculty and staff as well as our AHEAD scholars. Looking ahead, we anticipate Fellows and Scholars presenting to broader audiences of stakeholders located on and off campus.
