The funding is provided by trustees of the William T. Grant Foundation, the Spencer Foundation, the Doris Duke Foundation, and the Bezos Family Foundation.<\/p>\n<p>UT has a long history of working with CHS, a federally qualified health center that provides outpatient services to more than 65,000 Tennesseans annually.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs far as we know, we are the only academic partnership with a federally qualified health center,\u201d said Kristina Gordon, associate dean for community engagement for both the <a href=\"https:\/\/cehhs.utk.edu\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-gc-link=\"https:\/\/cehhs.utk.edu\/\">College of Education, Health, and Human Sciences<\/a> and the <a href=\"https:\/\/csw.utk.edu\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-gc-link=\"https:\/\/csw.utk.edu\/\">College of Social Work<\/a>. \u201cFQHCs frequently work with underresourced populations who are also underrepresented in health care research.
