Research

In economics, Dr. Galama focuses on understanding the substantial disparities in health by socioeconomic status, utilizing economic principles. Recently he has turned his attention to integrating genetics into such studies. This recent work is funded by several grants. Dr. Galama was awarded a VIDI grant by the Dutch National Science Foundation (NWO), a National Institute of Aging (NIA) research grant (R01), a Marie Currie Doctoral training grant (training 13 doctoral students and developing the European Social Science Genetics Network [ESSGN]), and a large NIA R01 grant ($12.2 million) to genotype the Understanding America Study (UAS). All these projects focus on identifying modifiable aspects of environments that may protect against genetic risk.
