About Broderick A. Crawford:
Broderick Crawford was the President and Executive Director of the NBC Community Development Corporation. With over 30 years of experience in health care and community advocacy, Crawford was a national leader for community voice in research. He served on the Recruitment Innovation Center Community Advisory Board and was a Co-Principal Investigator on a large National Institutes of Health funded RADx-UP grant project in 10 Kansas counties. Many of us were fortunate enough to call him a friend and colleague and he more than deserves this award to be named in his honor.
