New Grant to Support Center for Patient Safety, Quality, and Equity Columbia University was awarded a $5 million grant from the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) to create the EQUIP Center for Learning Health System Science, which will support researchers across five institutions—Columbia University Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons, Weill Cornell Medicine, NewYork-Presbyterian, Albert Einstein College of Medicine, and Montefiore Medical Center—working to improve patient safety, particularly among groups that experience persistent health care disparities. The EQUIP Center, led by the Department of Medicine's own Jason Adelman MD, will provide researchers with funding, training, and mentorship to successfully complete a research project in patient safety and health care quality with an emphasis on equity.
