The Board has examined such topics as the safety of childhood vaccines and other drugs; the revival of civilian immunization against smallpox; systems for evaluating and ensuring drug safety post-marketing; the soundness and ethical conduct of clinical trials to reduce maternal to child transmission of HIV/AIDS; the health effect of environmental exposures; population health improvement; integration of medical care and public health; health disparities; health literacy; chronic disease prevention, among others. Dr. Martinez was awarded the 2010 Institute of Medicine Research Cecil Award for significant contributions to IOM reports of exceptional quality and influence. Prior to joining the IOM, Dr. Martinez was a Senior Health Researcher at Mathematica Policy Research (1995-1999) where she conducted research on the impact of health system change on the public health infrastructure, access to care for vulnerable populations, managed care, and the health care workforce.
