The National Institute of Health gave $51 million to the Institute for Translational Medicine."Health equity is the opportunity for everyone to have the best wellness they can have," said Julian Solway, MD, Dean for Translational Medicine at The University of Chicago.
Some of the funding will go toward research to see how life experiences impact human biology to determine health. That includes everything from violence in communities to stress, the food we eat, and access to parks. This funding will also help launch a Community-Based Research Network of nonprofits and other organizations that want to address the health issues affecting their members by collaborating with physicians and researchers.
