Seven faculty members who contribute enormously to the research environment at U-M have been honored with the 2022 MICHR Distinguished Clinical and Translational Research Mentor Award.
Out of a competitive field of remarkable and generous research leaders, the Michigan Institute for Clinical & Health Research (MICHR) has selected individuals who meet the highest standard for clinical and translational research mentorship. The pool of nominees represented a diverse group of U-M units, including, Medicine, Nursing, Public Health, Social Work, and the Institute for Survey Research.
The Eleventh Annual Awardees will be honored at a ceremony later this fall during the 2022 Mentoring Forum. More information will be forthcoming.
The award was established in 2012 to recognize faculty who foster the intellectual, creative, scholarly, and professional growth of their students, fellows, and trainees in the areas of clinical and translational health and research.
