Supporting University at Buffalo's Efforts
BCHE plays a key role in supporting the University at Buffalo’s $3.6 million NIH grant aimed at addressing health inequities in Western New York. Through this collaboration, BCHE helps guide the establishment of the Center of Excellence in Investigator Development and Community Engagement. This center trains early-career faculty and researchers, focusing on social determinants of health such as poverty, housing, and racism. BCHE’s involvement ensures that community voices are central to the research process, fostering solutions that drive long-term change in Buffalo’s underserved communities.
