What they want
Dr. Arredondo will enhance mentorship of trainees at various academic levels studying innovative implementation and sustainment methods for cardiovascular health equity. She will expand knowledge and mentorship capacities in developing sustainable patient-oriented prevention programs using mixed-methods approaches. Career development activities will focus on accelerating the translation of NIH-funded community-based interventions into market-ready products. The research will leverage an NHLBI R01 grant to strengthen the sustainability plan for an evidence-based intervention (EBI), employing a mixed-methods approach to assess novel sustainability strategies and their mechanisms of action. The project will also identify market opportunities and enhance user engagement to promote EBI scale-up, with data used for a subsequent R01 application.
