Dr. Allison Gordon, will serve as co-investigator on a grant that has been funded by the National Institutes of Health. In this R01 project, which will total $3.5 million over five years, the team will evaluate a game-based intervention to help under served populations to engage in advance care planning to improve patient and family-centered outcomes at the end of life.
The Department of Communication's Dr. Don Helme and Dr. Nicky Lewis are part of the group awarded the HEAL research grant that funds a multiyear study supported by the National Institute on Drug Abuse. This grant will go to testing the integration of prevention, overdose treatment, and medication-based treatment in communities hard hit by the opioid crisis. The ambitious HEALing Communities Study aims to reduce opioid overdose deaths by 40 percent over 3 years in participating communities.
