The March issue of The TRIbune announces exciting changes for TRI’s K12 Mentored Research Career Development Scholar Award Program. These include changes in leadership with Mario Schootman, Ph.D., taking over as principal investigator and director. He is joined by co-directors Josh Kennedy, M.D., a 2015 graduate of the program, and Jason Farrar, M.D., who was named co-director last fall. Other changes in store include a greater emphasis on translational science, communication and community engagement as TRI focuses on meeting the requirements of its new grant and the recommendations of its External Advisory Board.
The newsletter’s Study of the Month features Sisira Yadala, M.D., who is the UAMS principal investigator on a multi-site epilepsy study.
The TRIbune also highlights Research Day on April 10-11, the Master of Science in Clinical and Translational Science program, and it features Spyridoula Maraka’s, M.D., recent success leveraging her TRI Implementation Science Scholar training to secure a VA Merit Award.
