To providedistinguished national recognition for the excellent work, 16 national health organizations have formed the Coalition forExcellence in MCH Epidemiology to collectively sponsor the 2012 National MCH Epidemiology Awards including:• American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), Epidemiology Section• American Public Health Association (APHA), Maternal and Child Health Section• Association of Maternal and Child Health Programs (AMCHP)• Association of Schools of Public Health (ASPH), Maternal and Child Health Council• Association of Teachers of Maternal and Child Health (ATMCH)• Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Division of Reproductive Health• CityMatCH• Council of State and Territorial Epidemiologists (CSTE)• Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), Maternal and Child Health Bureau• Maternal and Child Health Journal• National Association of County and City Health Officials (NACCHO)• National Association for Public Health Statistics and Information Systems (NAPHSIS)• National Birth Defects Prevention Network (NBDPN)• National March of Dimes Foundation• National Institutes of Health, Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD)• Society for Pediatric and Perinatal Epidemiologic Research (SPER)For 2012, the Coalition recognizes six individuals or organizations for their excellent contribution to Maternal and ChildHealth in five categories: Advancing Knowledge, Outstanding Leadership, Effective Practice, Excellence in Teachingand Mentoring, and Young Professional Achievement.16
ADVANCING PARTNERSHIPS: DATA, PRACTICE, AND POLICYAWARDEEMCH Epidemiology Young Professional Achievement AwardLisa M. Bodnar, PhD, MPH, RDLisa Bodnar is Assistant Professor of Epidemiology, Psychiatry and Obstetrics andGynecology at the University of Pittsburgh. In the 10 years since completing her degree, Dr.Bodnar’s award-winning research has made extraordinary contributions to understandinghow maternal nutritional status influences the health of mothers and infants. She hasdescribed risk factors for postpartum anemia, and documented a surprisingly highprevalence of anemia among women receiving WIC. This research is notable as oneof the first applications of marginal structural models to a MCH problem. Dr. Bodnar isamong the world’s experts in the study of gestational weight gain, again bringing cuttingedgemethods to the study of an important problem. Her expertise was recognized by herservice on the Institute of Medicine committee to re-examine weight gain during pregnancy,where she was by far the youngest committee member, and by service on a similar committee for the Royal College ofObstetricians and Gynecologists. Her current research on the role of Vitamin D in pregnancy outcomes has the potentialto identify a remediable cause of disparities in maternal and child health.Dr. Bodnar is currently PI of three NIH grants (and co-Investigator on several more) , one CDC grant, and one ThrasherFoundation grant. She is author or co-author of 62 peer-reviewed manuscripts, five <strong>book</strong> chapters, and 78 publishedabstracts or scholarly presentations. She has chaired scientific symposia for the American Society for Nutrition and theSociety for Epidemiologic Research, and in addition to service on numerous University committees, she has servedon Study Sections for the NIH, the Welcome Trust, and the Thrasher Foundation. Her work has been recognizedby her receipt of the Public Health Service Award from the University of North Carolina School of Public Health, theAbraham Lilienfeld Student Prize Award from the Society for Epidemiologic Research, New Investigator Awards fromthe New Clinical Drug Evaluation Unit (NIMH) and the American Society for Bone and Mineral Research, and numerousother awards. Very rarely has someone accomplished so much in such a short time and in recognition of theseaccomplishments she will receive the 2012 Young Professional Achievement Award.Effective Practice at the State Level AwardDonald Hayes, MD, MPHDr. Donald Hayes provides leadership as the CDC assigned epidemiologist to the Stateof Hawaii, Family Health Services Division (FHSD) since 2007. Dr. Hayes has influencedthe practice of maternal and child, public health and scientific knowledge on a stateand national level. Under his guidance, Dr. Hayes’ leadership has provided essentialtools to promote greater understanding and appreciation for the critical services MCH<strong>program</strong>s provide to maintain the health of families. One of the biggest impacts has beenthe increased staff and stakeholders’ willingness to embrace data, which has improvedcollaborations to address health issues from a systems perspective.Dr. Hayes’ leadership and mentorship in data analysis, research, presentations andpublications within FHSD, across the Department of Health, with students and faculty, and through collaborationswith other CDC scientists, has strongly improved the analytic capacity at both state and national levels. Dr. Hayes hasanalyzed multiple diverse data systems that have resulted thus far in 23 first or co-author peer-reviewed manuscripts,over 25 state reports, over 25 fact sheets, and nearly 100 presentations to various audiences.Some of his research interests include social determinants of health and disparities, adolescent risk behaviors andlong-term health, collaborative opportunities for public health and the medical community, and relationships betweenchronic disease and MCH. Dr. Hayes serves as an associate editor for the Hawaii Journal of Medicine and Public Health,and is adjunct faculty at both the University of Hawaii’s Office of Public Health Studies and the John A.
