HEAT Faculty Member Joins National Fellowship on Heart Health Research

August 13, 2025

Tailisha Gonzalez, Assistant Professor in the department of Health Equity, Administration, and Technology (HEAT), joined the 2025 PRIDE Cardiovascular Health-Related Research Fellowship as one of just 10 fellows selected nationwide. She completed the program’s first summer session at SUNY Downstate, where she launched research exploring how social and structural work factors impact women’s cardiovascular health.
“This program has been an incredible opportunity to grow as a researcher and connect with a powerful network of scholars committed to health equity,” said Gonzalez. “I’m excited to carry this momentum into my work.”
Sponsored by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI), the PRIDE program supports junior faculty across the country through mentorship and research training.
