New Representatives for Staff Scientist/Staff Clinician Organization

DCEG SS/SC representatives: Dalsu Baris and Mark Roth.

Dalsu Baris, M.D., Ph.D., a staff scientist in the Occupational and Environmental Epidemiology Branch, has been elected to serve on the Council of Representatives for the NIH Staff Scientist/Staff Clinician (SS/SC) Organization. Mark J. Roth, M.D., a staff clinician in the Nutritional Epidemiology Branch, has been appointed as the alternate DCEG representative.

Established in 2004, the NIH SS/SC Organization acts on behalf of the more than 1,000 staff scientists and clinicians who work in the NIH Institutes and Centers with intramural programs. The organization’s objectives are to represent staff scientists and clinicians to the NIH administration, promote networking and interinstitute collaborations, create an information repository of the resources and expertise held by SSs/SCs, organize seminars and workshops on emerging technologies, and foster career development.

As the DCEG representatives, Drs. Baris and Roth will serve as the points of contact and liaisons for DCEG SSs/SCs, addressing their needs during the organization’s meetings, and will help to establish initiatives that foster their career development.
