Cola, who holds the Winkle Healthcare Management Professorship and is a professor of design and innovation at the Weatherhead School of Management, co-authored the piece with Rachel A.

鈥淲inning this award is especially meaningful as it emanates from participating in the JRA mentorship program, where I collaborated with Rachel Goff-Albritton to write the award-winning paper,鈥 he said. 鈥淚t means a lot to me that it was an opportunity to not only work with a talented collaborator but to succeed in that endeavor beyond expectations.鈥
