Maternal & Infant Health
The Health Care program area seeks to improve maternal and infant health outcomes and reduce health disparities.
Researching & Strengthening Student Resilience on College Campuses
To derive full value from their college experiences, students must be equipped to handle the pressure and stress of college life. To help ensure that students can thrive, the Endowment has awarded $3.4 million in grants to support research and interventions through the Student Resilience and Well-Being Project on the four Endowment-supported campuses in North Carolina and South Carolina. The project aimed to understand and reinforce the conditions that strengthen college student resilience and well-being.
