Dr. Brawner is an emerging scholar of distinction. Having earned her PhD by age 27, she has been the principal investigator on several funded grants and within the last few months was awarded a grant by the U.S. Center for Disease Control & Prevention in the amount of $932,000 entitled: 鈥淧revention Among Heterosexually-Active Black Adolescents with Mental Illness鈥�.
