The funding will help faculty begin new research projects around birth outcomes, environmental exposures, gestational weight gain, and e-cigarette cessation respectively.
Four faculty have been awarded up to $50,000 pilot funding from the College of Public Health to begin new research projects.
“Research of consequence is core to the mission of the University and the College supports faculty research to promote the health and well-being of all.
