Kristine Gebbie won a $390,000 award from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation

Please join me in congratulating Kristine Gebbie on a $390,000 award from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. The project, entitled "Building the Base for a Research Agenda on Local Public Health Legal Authority," will examine the role of law in local public health systems by documenting the scope, breadth, and content of local public health ordinances in key program areas. It will overcome the significant gap in existing databases and models for public health law and complement state legal databases and increase the understanding of the role of law in local public health practice.
