Early Career-CeNtered EnricHment to AdvaNce Research CarEers in Maternal Health
ENHANCE-M (Early Career-CeNtered EnricHment to AdvaNce Research CarEers in Maternal Health) serves as a supplemental training opportunity to advance proficiency and application of research aimed to reduce pregnancy-related complications and deaths, promoting maternal health equity. Program goals are to train a diverse group of postdoctoral fellows and early-stage investigators (ESI) in community-engaged research and in clinical trials involving birthing people and improve diversity and culturally responsive care in the field of clinical research involving birthing people.
Our team has developed partnerships with regional urban higher education institutions whose ethnically, racially, and socioeconomically diverse doctoral, postdoctoral, and ESI faculty expressed interest in participating in the ENHANCE-M training program.
