The Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development awarded Ryan Coller, MD, MPH, associate professor and chief, Division of Hospital Medicine and Complex Care, with an R01 in the amount of $3,320,095 for his project, “Caregiving Network Contribution to Children with Medical Complexity’s Health.” The funding will allow Coller’s team to conduct essential Stage 0 research (NIH Stage Model for Behavioral Intervention Development) using a mixed methods approach to understand how caregiving networks influence health outcomes for children with neurologic impairment (NI). Danielle Gerber, family engagement specialist in the Division of Hospital Medicine and Complex Care, will play a key role in this project. The project’s specific aims are to identify the contributions of caregiving network characteristics to serious health events in children with NI; identify the contributions of caregiving network characteristics to child quality of life; and identify barriers, facilitators, and consequences of caregiving network characteristics among children with NI. The long-term goal of Coller’s work is to improve the health of children with neurologic impairment (NI) through optimized caregiving networks. This five-year grant began January 2025 and will continue through December 2029.
