PROF. OLAFSDOTTIR RECEIVES NIH GRANT TO STUDY HEALTH INEQUALITIES
Assistant Professor Sigrun Olafsdottir (along with Jason Beckfield, Harvard University) has received an R03 grant from the National Institutes of Health for a project titled: A Comparative Approach to Social Inequalities in Health. Building on their previous research, they will explore the role of cross-national institutional differences in accounting for variation in health disparities across countries. The project will contribute to our understanding of how changes in income inequality, institutional arrangements, and policy configurations within a society shape patterns of health inequality.
