Seven faculty members who contribute enormously to the research environment at U-M have been honored with the 2017 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 schools, including Medicine, Dentistry, Public Health, Engineering, Center for Human Growth & Development, Institute for Social Research, and Education.
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.
