The Center for Community Health (CCH) is delighted to welcome Remi Love as our new Center Administrator, beginning July 1st.
Remi has worked for the Department of Surgery at Northwestern Feinberg School of Medicine since 2000, most recently as a Program Administrator for the Surgical Outcomes & Quality Improvement Center (SOQIC). At SOQIC, Remi led the Illinois Surgical Quality Improvement Collaborative (ISQIC), focused on coordinating quality improvement efforts across a collaborative of hospitals throughout the state of Illinois. Remi has experience performing various administrative leadership roles here at Northwestern. Her time spent in the Department of Surgery helped form her interests in healthcare, specifically in healthcare quality, and disparities in the delivery of care. Remi has been involved in a number of initiatives at SOQIC, such as the FIRST Trial, which was a randomized trial and study of resident duty hours resulting in a national policy change, to recently co-managing the implementation of a prehabilitation optimization initiative focused on nutrition, smoking cessation, physical function, and cognitive preparedness for preoperative surgical patients. She has co-authored several publications and presentations on the work at SOQIC in peer-reviewed journals.
Remi is a Chicago native and lives on the southside with her Hound mix, Jami. She enjoys live music and spending time with family on weekends.

The Northwestern University Clinical and Translational Sciences Institute announces their Request for Proposals for the 2022 NUCATS Clinical and Translational Pilot Awards and Dissemination and Implementation Pilot Awards. The proposal submission deadline is Monday, July 18, 2022, by 5 p.m. CT.
Clinical & Translational Pilot Awards (up to $30,000)
The NUCATS Clinical and Translational Pilot Awards Initiative is seeking proposals for highly innovative, multi-disciplinary clinical and translational research projects where the potential for strong clinical or translational impact on human health is clear. Although proposals are encouraged from across the broad domains of clinical and translational research, we are especially interested in projects that:
- Include (an) aim(s) studying "translational science" (testing how to accelerate/improve the process of translation from basic science discovery through clinical trials to population impact)
- Maintain a high likelihood of translation to clinical or population health impact
- Align with the Chicago Department of Public Health's Healthy Chicago 2025 goals
- Address health disparities/health equity
Dissemination & Implementation Pilot Awards (up to $30,000)
The NUCATS Dissemination and Implementation Pilot Awards Initiative is seeking proposals that explore innovative approaches to the dissemination and implementation (D&I) of research findings that address the gap between research discoveries and the translation of this knowledge into evidence-based programs, practices, or policies in the clinic or community to improve public health.
