The COALESCE program has assembled a world-class, diverse, and interdisciplinary Executive Committee and program faculty.
Our program faculty consist of subject matter and methodological experts with backgrounds in medicine, nursing, basic sciences, epidemiology, qualitative methods, behavioral sciences, and management. Faculty will participate in the program in three different capacities: mentors, collaborating sponsors, and teaching faculty.
