Christopher Friese’s program of research is focused on understanding and improving healthcare delivery in high-risk settings, such as cancer. In 2008, he was awarded a Pathway to Independence K99/R00 research grant to study outcomes of care for patients with cancer from the National Institute of Nursing Research.
