Jennifer Hays-Grudo, PhD, is a Regents professor of Human Development and Family Science and an adjunct professor of Pediatrics at Oklahoma State University. Prior to joining OSU in July of 2013, she was a George Kaiser Family Foundation (GKFF) Chair in Community Medicine at OU-Tulsa. Since 2008, Dr. Hays-Grudo has been involved with the Tulsa Children’s Project, a GKFF-funded collaboration between OU-Tulsa, Harvard’s Center for the Developing Child, Tulsa Educare, and other community partners in designing and implementing a highly integrated set of interventions to reduce the effects of intergenerational poverty and adversity on young children. Before coming to Oklahoma, she was on the faculty of Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, where she led the Office of Health Promotion, held numerous NIH grants on health behavior in high-risk populations and was the principal investigator of the Baylor’s clinical center for the Women’s Health Initiative. Dr. Hays-Grudo is currently the Principal Investigator and Project Director of the Center for Integrative Research on Childhood Adversity (CIRCA), an $11.3M, five-year NIH grant that builds capacity for federally-funded research addressing the immediate and long-term effects of trauma and poverty on children’s health and development.
