Dr. Monica Bertagnolli, NIH director, and Dr. Jeanne Marrazzo, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), visited Whitman-Walker’s Max Robinson Center in Southeast Washington, D.C., on June 27 to celebrate Pride Month.
The two NIH’ers joined Whitman-Walker leaders for a discussion about NIH-funded research at community health centers. The NIH director talked about the importance of community-engaged research and the importance of addressing structural barriers to health and health care access.
Later, Bertagnolli and Marrazzo toured the future site of the NIH-funded Biomedical HIV Research Hub.
