AMETHIST@Penn

AMETHIST@Penn is an implementation science hub at the University of Pennsylvania supporting the NIH IMPROVE Initiative. The IMPROVE Initiative aims to reduce maternal mortality, improve pregnancy, perinatal and postpartum care, and to address the factors that have led to severe disparities in outcomes for marginalized groups. AMETHIST@Penn stands for Achieving Maternal Empowerment  and Transforming Health through Implementation Science and Training, and will support ten NIH-Funded Research Centers of Excellence (CoEs) across the country who are researching maternal health equity. The AMETHIST@Penn hub will advance public health and maternal health by facilitating implementation research that centers the needs and perspectives of patients, communities, and health disparity populations. This channel will serve to assist training and capacity building in implementation science and maternal health research by housing video recordings of our monthly seminars and other media to come!
