The General Hospital Corporation, doing business as Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH), received a $261,589 Project Grant award from the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) under the Extramural Research Programs in the Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders (CFDA 93.853) federal grant program. The award, with a project period from March 1, 2025 to February 29, 2028, aims to leverage a community-engaged approach to: 1) capture experiences of resettled refugees with neurological illness; 2) adapt and test the feasibility and acceptability of a peer support intervention for this population; and 3) build long-term capacity for community-partnered clinical research addressing neurological disparities among refugees. This project seeks to address significant health disparities faced by refugees, a highly marginalized population, through a scalable peer-delivered intervention developed with rigorous community involvement.
