Connect with a Colleague: Learn What Grant Reviewers Look For

Members of the DOM are active in peer review of research proposals. In our scholarly review survey, 36 DOM members reported serving on grant selection committees (study sections) over the past five years. 25 individuals reviewed proposals to the National Institutes of Health, and seven reported reviewing for the Department of Defense. Additional grant review activity included serving on study sections for foundations and participating in intramural grant reviews.

The Research Administration Team can share information with new investigators who want to tap into this expertise. Please contact Stefanie Fingler. Do you have your own scholarly activity you would like to share with your colleagues? The survey is still open!

Meliora Weekend: Alumnus Lecture on Hepatology

Join John Vierling, MD, chief of Hepatology at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, Texas, for the Distinguished Alumnus Lecture, "Creation of Hepatology as a Medical Subspecialty: A Personal Journey." This talk will travel back to the days of WWII when the maladies of the liver were not yet studied intensely, and how early visionaries in the 1950's would train Vierling and his peers, setting the stage for his generation to develop the diagnostics and therapeutics that established hepatology as a medical subspecialty. Vierling completed his residency at URMC in 1974, and returns to SMD as part of Meliora Weekend.

Friday, October 6, 12 p.m.
