Post-doctoral scholar Ryan Walsh has been awarded a F32 postdoctoral fellowship grant from the NIH National Institute on Minority Health and Health Disparities to study social determinants of health and health disparities in emerging (i.e., non-standard) work contexts. The project will use quantitative and qualitative data to learn how the effects of emergent work intersect with workers’ ability to lead satisfying, meaningful and productive lives in their communities.

The project also lays the groundwork for future investigations to address health disparities in minoritized worker populations who disproportionately experience chronic disease burdens. Walsh will manage a nearly $224,000 award over a three-year period until Sept. 2027.
