The culture of the program is one that values growth, teamwork, and inclusion. Current research projects are funded by NIH, PCORI, and Foundations amounting to over $20M total costs between 2024-2030 in addition to endowed program funding. These include the Food FARMacia randomized trial of an infant food security intervention; the LINC mixed methods study of social risk factors, navigation, and neighborhoods; and the PCORI-funded CHIME (Comparing Health Interventions for Maternal Equity) program.
