A research team led by F&ES Professor Michelle Bell has received a $4 million grant from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to examine environmental health disparities within the U.S. senior population.
Using a wide range of data sets, including Medicare claims, Bell and colleagues from Rice and Harvard universities will investigate how environmental and socioeconomic status (SES) factors jointly contribute to health disparities among people aged 65 and over, with a focus on Michigan and North Carolina.
