It focuses on the development and implementation of an intervention to prevent illness and death associated with hypertensive disorders of pregnancy. Community partners are in Genesee, Kent, and Wayne Counties. See the ‘Tools’ tab on this site for some of the resources produced from this project.

AIM-CCI works to develop and nationally implement non-hospital focused maternal safety bundles; as an implementation site, we work with community partners to implement and perform quality improvement assessments on the safety bundles in Kent County, MI.
This project implements a three-level intervention in Michigan’s Genesee and Kent Counties to address disparities in maternal illness and death.
One of ten NIH Maternal Health Research Centers of Excellence, the MIRACLE Center will reduce Michigan's pregnancy-related maternal illness and death and disparities in populations disproportionately impacted. Rooted in a culturally informed research community, the Center will implement and evaluate three innovative and culturally relevant projects across the state. See the Center’s webpage for more information on the projects.
Strong Beginnings is a federal Healthy Start program created in 2004.
Utilizing federal HRSA funds, the lab is contracted by Strong beginnings to conduct program evaluation, quality improvement, and intervention development.
As Michigan’s first Pay-for-Success project, this innovative funding mechanism partners public or private investors, health systems, and community-based providers to deliver programming that demonstrates a measurable improvement in health outcomes, resulting in savings for the state of Michigan. If predetermined successful impact is achieved over a five-year period, the state of Michigan returns savings to investors who reinvest back into program services.
This project, often referred to as Medicaid Match, focuses on intervention development, program evaluation, and quality improvement with Strong Beginnings as the lead community partner.
