Ade Olomu Receives Agency for Healthcare and Research Quality Mentored Clinical Scientist Research Career Developmental Award

 

Ade Olomu, associate professor of medicine in the Department of Medicine, College of Human Medicine at Michigan State University, has received the Agency for Healthcare and Research Quality Mentored Clinical Scientist Research Career Developmental Award.

The K08 award provides support for five years of intensive research career development under the guidance of an experienced mentor in the field of health services research.

The award provides for periods of education at leading institutions in the country, protected time for pilot studies, and structured progression toward research independence. Margaret Holmes-Rovner, MSU professor of medicine and professor of ethics, is the primary mentor on the grant. Kim Eagle, director of the Cardiovascular Institute at University of Michigan, will co-mentor.

Olomu received the five-year $679,860.00 award for her proposal titled, “Closing the Research-To - Practice Gap in Cardiac Care of Minority and Low Income Populations.”

The objective of this research is to design the Office-Guideline Applied to Practice (Office-GAP) to improve and narrow the disparity gap in cardiovascular care for minority and low income populations in outpatient clinical settings.

The study will focus on implementing evidence-based care models which incorporate the best science into care itself by targeting physicians, nurses, and patients. The research will also develop and implement a system to link patients to existing community resources.

The research builds on innovative work at MSU in patient-centered care and decision support and the American College of Cardiology Guideline Applied in Practice initiative in Michigan.

The study will be conducted in three federally qualified healthcare centers in Ingham County.
