CTB Science Director Sylvie Naar and esteemed Co-PI’s awarded Transformative Award for addressing racial inequities in health care
“The scientific literature has clearly established the existence of racial bias within the health-care system, so much so that it has recently been declared a public health emergency,” said Anderson, a member of the National Academy of Medicine. “Yet, there are few if any successful approaches to addressing this bias.
