UNC Epidemiology PhD student, Joyce Pak, and Research Group PI, Dr. Jenny Lund, were recently awarded a Lineberger Tier 1 ($50,000) Grant to evaluate the impacts of hurricane-related flooding on delays in initial cancer-directed care and mortality in North Carolina. This exciting work will leverage information from several publicly available data sources on hurricane hazards and area-level contextual data, as well as the North Carolina Central Cancer Registry. This work will serve as the foundation for Ms. Pak’s dissertation project. Other collaborators include Dr. Chris Baggett, Dr. Katie Reeder-Hayes, and Dr. Shabbar Ranapurwala. Congrats to the team!
