Call for Nominations The Johns Hopkins Urban Health Institute (UHI) has established the Henrietta Lacks Memorial Award to honor exceptional collaborations between community-university partners working together to improve the health and well-being of the city of Baltimore. The award, named in recognition of Henrietta Lacks, will carry with it a monetary gift to the community entity that is the central partner in that relationship.
This award of $15,000 highlights the importance of community-university collaborations, recognizes the accomplishments that can be achieved by such partnerships, and continues to support the efforts of the partnership.
