Pilot Grants

Recipients of a 2020 Pilot Grant in Health Disparities Research, Dylan Jennings (Bizhikiins) and Dana Carroll, PhD, MPH, presented their research at the October Health Equity Seminar Series co-sponsored by PHDR and C2DREAM. Along with co-investigator Dorothy Hatsukami, PhD, their overall research goal was to create a program that utilizes traditional tobacco to reframe what tobacco is (sacred) and is not (addictive). Carroll and Jennings will continue their research partnership with a grant from the National Cancer Institute. They will tailor QuitGuide, an existing smartphone-delivery cessation resource, and pilot test whether it is a feasible and acceptable smoking cessation resource for American Indian persons who smoke. Check back with us on our website in December for information on applying to the next cycle of Pilot Grants.

_{Recipients of a 2020 Pilot Grant in Health Disparities Research, Rodolfo Gutierrez, PhD and Gabriela Bustamante, PhD, presented their Un Poco de Luz: Learning from Cervical Cancer Screening among Uninsured Hispanics in Minnesota research findings to the community on September 23, 2022. Gutierrez and Bustamante identified factors that have contributed to the high level of usage of free cervical cancer screening (CCS) services provided by the Minnesota Department of Health’s (MDH) Sage program among low-income uninsured and underinsured Hispanic women in Minnesota using focus groups and in-depth interviews. In addition to sharing research findings, they debuted a video co-created by and starring participants from the study and produced by MLatino Media promoting cervical cancer screening and the use of the Sage program.
