Doctors researchers aim to assess the use of AI to extend access to prenatal analyzes and to launch a regional opioid management initiative focused on general surgery.
Wilmington, NC – Thanks to an investment of a million dollars, New Yilmington -based health doctors combine with doctors and researchers from the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill to advance two clinical research efforts in North Carolina.
The pair of research subsidies of $ 500,000 was awarded by a collaboration involving Novant Health, UNC Health and the University of North Carolina at the Chapel Hill School of Medicine. Funding will launch joint health and health and UNC health and UNC medicine on the assessment of tools that widen access to prenatal analyzes and progression efforts to improve surgical care.
“We are delighted to announce two revolutionary subsidies to advance collaborative research between Novant Health and UNC focused on improving health results in our coastal communities. These prizes will finance studies on maternal health and the post-surgical service of opioids-two important questions in the south-east of NC, “said Mark King, vice-president of research and innovation at Novant Health and the Chair of collaborative Advisory research. “In addition, these collaborations will create additional infrastructure for future research here on the coast.”
The organizations have formed an enlarged alliance as part of the acquisition of Novant Health in 2021 of what is now no HEALTH New Hanover Regional Medical Center. In addition to the expansion of clinical research, organizations are also increasing medical education and pediatric specialty care, emphasizing the coastal region of Novant Health in southeast North Carolina.
The last reward grants previously funded by research: this collaborative has awarded a Separate a million dollars last year To launch a pair of research projects to reduce the disparities for the health of pediatric asthma and assess the treatment of advanced prostate cancer. Each study is led by investigators based in Chapel Hill and Wilmington, and work on these projects is continuing.
The collaboration has also invested nearly a million dollars to launch 19 individual research subsidies of $ 50,000.
“The partnership between UNC and Novant Health in Research for the benefit of all people living in North Coastal Carolina is really starting to hit her stride. These two fascinating new projects aim to improve obstetric care and surgical care on the coast, but also bring new ideas to our state, the nation’s research nation. ”
