Currently, Kartik is the PI of three large federally-funded studies: 1) NIH’s ECHO Ohio prospective longitudinal cohort examining the impact of maternal health on long-term child health (UG3); 2) AHRQ’s ACHIEVE RCT studying the impact of continuous glucose monitoring, mobile applications, and addressing social needs on glycemic control for Medicaid-insured pregnant individuals with type 2 diabetes (R01); 3) PCORI’s DECIDE, a comparative effectiveness, patient-centered RCT, defining whether metformin is non-inferior to insulin for prevention of adverse pregnancy outcomes and safe through 2 years of postpartum follow-up. Kartik has published over >100 peer-reviewed scientific manuscripts focused on diabetes in pregnancy, maternal morbidity, and infectious diseases in pregnancy.
