Megan A. Mullins, PhD, MPH,  joined the faculty in April 2022. Dr. Mullins received both her MPH and PhD in Epidemiologic Sciences from the University of Michigan School of Public Health. She completed post-doctoral training at the University of Michigan’s Rogel Cancer Center where she was a T32 fellow in cancer care delivery research and the inaugural Cancer Care Delivery Research Fellow at NRG Oncology, a research base in the NCI Community Oncology Research Program (NCORP).

Dr. Mullins’ research program is focused on improving the quality and equity of cancer care for people with advanced stage cancers. Her work is centered in three broad areas: 1) populations who are at high risk for poor cancer outcomes (e.g. older adults with cognitive impairment, racial/ethnic minorities, and sexual and gender minorities); 2) goal concordant care; and 3) palliative and end-of-life care. Dr. Mullins uses mixed-methods approaches for care delivery research to inform the implementation of evidence-based interventions. She has specific expertise in the analysis of large population-based and medical claims data, in-depth interviewing, surveying patients and providers, and health disparities research.

Dr. Mullins is currently the Principal Investigator of a national pilot study funded by NRG Oncology to evaluate barriers and facilitators to sexual orientation and gender identity (SOGI) data collection in NCORP practices and develop a stakeholder engaged implementation strategy for routine SOGI data collection.
