Congratulations to Drs. Donald Likosky, Daphne Watkins and Russell Funk for their NIH R01 grant that will use mixed methods research to examine the role and associated impact of systemic racism and discrimination within heart failure. The partnership between Michigan Medicine, University of Michigan School of Social Work and University of Minnesota seeks to develop an understanding of barriers to and facilitators of equitable care and outcomes in heart failure care. They intend to develop a toolkit of best practices to address structural racism and discrimination in this setting. More on the award: https://michmed.org/Qk45R
