The Lurie Institute is thrilled to announce $6 million in new federal funding for research at Lurie and at Lurie's centers, including a grant supporting the new Center for Disability and Pregnancy Research.
The Lurie Institute has been awarded a $2 million grant from the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development, part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH). The four-year grant supports research that will examine disparities in care and outcomes before, during, and after pregnancy among Black women and Latinas with physical disabilities.
