The October TRIbune Is Here!

In this issue of The TRIbune, we feature an exciting new software program that will simplify TRI grant application processes for researchers, reviewers and our staff. The Apply software program will be available in spring 2023 for six TRI funding opportunities. The program will provide a tool that not only streamlines processes but also ensures that TRI’s funding programs are equitable, fair and transparent.

TRI’s Paul Duguid, MPH, and Carolyn Greene, Ph.D., are leading TRI’s acquisition of the Apply software.

We also highlight our latest cohort of Strategies for Training and Advancing underrepresented Researchers (STARs) program recipients and the recent national award for Jennifer Vincenzo, Ph.D., which stems from her work as a KL2 Mentored Research Career Development Program scholar.  

Our Study of the Month features Erika Petersen, M.D., a professor of neurosurgery, and her collaborations with Ranu Jung, Ph.D., at the University of Arkansas, Fayetteville Institute for Integrative & Innovative Research (I3R), and UAMS orthopaedic surgeons John Bracey Jr., M.D., and Mark Tait, M.D.
