Gasol Foundation USA received our first grant of 2024. We were awarded the UCLA Clinical and Translational Science Institute $10,000 grant. The UCLA Clinical and Translational Science Institute (CTSI) includes team members at Cedars-Sinai, Charles Drew University of Medicine and Science, the Lundquist Institute, and UCLA. Within the CTSI, the Community Engagement Research Program (CERP) partners with community members, organizations, service providers, policymakers, academic researchers, government and local health systems to identify and research public health priorities towards the goal of improving health equity and reducing health disparities in Los Angeles County. The CTSI CERP Community Grant Awards are meant to support community organizations that are currently working to address health or social inequities.
We are extremely grateful to The Lundquist Institutes’ Health Sciences Clinical Professor of Pediatrics, Dr. Jennifer Yee, for helping us during this application process.
