A recent story from the Northwestern University Clinical & Translational Sciences (NUCATS) Institute highlights Community-Academic Partnerships funded through the 2021 ARCC Seed Grants.

One partnership is with Distinctively Me, an organization dedicated to strengthening the mental well-being of young black women as they transition through their adolescent years into womanhood, and Onnie Rogers, PhD, assistant professor of Psychology. Earlier this summer they began the Rebuilding Black Girlhood project, a community-research partnership and advisory board that aims to rebuild the pillars of healthy socioemotional development for black girls.

An investigation of the experiences of Filipinx/a/o immigrant communities at high risk for COVID-19, was also recently funded by an ARCC Seed Grant. The Bayanihan Project is a collaboration between the Filipino Young Leaders Program (FYLPRO) and CCH faculty Namratha Kandula, MD, MPH, professor of Medicine in the Division of General Internal Medicine and Geriatrics and Preventive Medicine in the Division of Epidemiology.

Guest: Angel Love Miles, PhD,

Healthcare/Home and Community Based Services Policy Analyst

This presentation will discuss how institutional barriers and social practices contribute to health disparities for people with disabilities. Healthcare policy, research and practice must challenge disability bias by responding to the real structural, financial and cultural barriers that people with disabilities experience when trying to access care.

Angel and Access Living serve on the ARCC Steering Committee. Tamara Sutton, ARCC Community Chair and Program Director for ARCC Steering Committee Member Chicago Youth Programs, will introduce Angel and moderate the Q&A.

This webinar is part of the Translational Applications in Public Health mini-series, which is a collaboration between the Institute for Public Health and Medicine (IPHAM) and the Northwestern University Clinical and Translational Sciences (NUCATS) Institute.
