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.

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.
