ICHAD and SMART Africa were featured in the Brown Schools news after receiving two NIH-funded awards.
“The International Center for Child Health and Development (ICHAD) received over $1.3 million from NIMHD to lead the five-year program “Training LEADers to Accelerate Global Mental Health Disparities Research” (LEAD) under the co-leadership of Fred Ssewamala, William E. Gordon Distinguished Professor, and Patricia Cavazos-Rehg (pictured right), associate professor in the department of psychiatry at the School of Medicine. The program is designed for pre-doctoral students and post-doctoral trainees from underrepresented groups in the U.S. who are committed to conducting health disparities research around global mental health. LEAD seeks to equip trainees with foundational global research skills and knowledge through experiential learning and personalized mentoring and will be held as a summer institute. Recruitment for the first cohort will begin in fall 2019.”
