The collaboration establishes a framework for joint action in health systems and implementation science research tailored to the unique contexts and needs of CARPHA Member States.

Scientific progress comes from more than breakthrough research. It depends on the people who are trained to put that research into action. At Georgetown University Medical Center, our researchers are not only advancing scientific discovery through research, but mentoring future medical and health care professionals, clinicians and scientists. Students learn directly from the experts that are working toward a better understanding of scientific challenges and to translate those findings to improve health care. We’re proud to support the science, as well as the scientists and healthcare professionals, that are improving the health of our communities.

We’re excited to welcome Christine Grady, RN, PhD, FAAN (N’74, G’93) back to Georgetown, where her journey in nursing and bioethics first began. “It feels fitting to be coming back — like completing a full circle,” Dr. Grady said. “Georgetown is an incredible institution, and I’m hoping I can make meaningful contributions here.”

Dr. Grady is turning her attention to what she sees as the next frontier: neuroethics. Neurotechnologies like brain stimulation devices and tools that can decode human thought raise profound ethical questions about identity, autonomy and the potential for misuse. In her dual capacity as senior advisor to the Executive Vice President for Health Sciences on bioethics and neuroethics and as a professor of neuroscience in the School of Medicine, Dr. Grady is embracing the challenges ahead and is particularly looking forward to helping students dive into the ethical considerations that are core to discovery.
