Dr. Fouladi’s research focuses on comparative health systems, evidence-informed policymaking and knowledge translation and exchange (KTE). Her recent work includes evaluating information needs of decision-makers and management approaches in hospital systems of nations transitioning to value and population-based care and over the past year, she developed an international virtual Health Research & Exchange collaboration platform (HREx) for the global Universitas21 network in response to persistent inequalities in research and practice highlighted by the pandemic and weaknesses of health systems around the world to improve population health. HREx emphasizes diversity, inclusivity and culturally sensitive mentorship and professional development of doctoral students and early career researchers in health services, policy, and management and was recently launched as part of the 'U21Community Learning Network' for UMD and other member institutions.
