She has been the PI on CDC, NIH, FDA and foundation grants focused on trust, vaccine acceptance, vaccine disparities, and communication during routine and emergency situations, and engagement of racial/ethnic minorities in research. Concurrent with her role as chair, she served as PI (with S.Thomas) on CommuniHealth (2021-2022) and was principal investigator of a local research team in Prince George’s County, MD and a member of the Working Committee on a Chan-Zuckerberg Initiative grant, “The Community’s Role in an Equitable and Effective COVID-19 Vaccination Rollout” (Communivax, 2020-21, Schoch-Spana and Brunson, PIs).  She served as principal investigator (with X. Nan) on a MPowering the State grant, Predicting and Improving COVID-19 Vaccine Acceptance Among African Americans during the Coronavirus Pandemic. 

She served as Chair of the Planning Committee for a March 2022 National Academies of Science, Engineering and Medicine (NASEM) Workshop, Building Public Trust in Public Health Emergency Preparedness and Response (PHEPR) Science: A Workshop.  From 2018-2021, she served on the NASEM committee on Evidence-Based Practice for Public Health Emergency Preparedness and Response.  During the pandemic, she served as a member of the expert panel on older adults for the NIH funded, COVID-19 Prevention Network and the Maryland SARS CoV-2 Vaccine Technical Advisory Group.  During the pandemic, she was an invited speaker for multiple organizations on trust, vaccine confidence, implications of the emergency use authorization mechanism, and building effective, community-engaged vaccine initiatives.
