Building Community Engagement

Dr. Bale was recruited to CU to develop new programs in-line with the strategic research and community impact objectives of the University of Colorado School of Medicine. In formulating the mission and directives for these programs, The Bale Lab will ensure that while  strengthening the existing basic and clinical research programs and building translational bridges, their focus would be on ensuring equity and inclusion.

I hold The Anschutz Foundation Endowed Chair in Women’s Integrated Mental and Physical Health Research at the Ludeman Center, and thus a significant focus of my research and mentorship is on women’s health and sex as a biological variable.

Engaging in the community has been a key focus in my leadership roles and development throughout my career, including forming collaborations and partnerships with local organizations, health officials, social workers, and policy makers. Community engagement is critical for the advancement of research, medicine, and education.
