An employee at the University of Alabama at Birmingham and her team received millions of dollars in awards from the university last week for her campaign aimed at making Alabama a healthier state by 2030.
Mona Fouad, director of the UAB Minority Health and Health Disparities Research Center, and her project “Healthy Alabama 2030: Live HealthSmart” was declared the winner of UAB’s first Grand Challenge. She and her team’s prize is a three-year, $2.7 million award from the university to fund the project’s initial effort.
