DCEG Fellows Award for Research Excellence
D-FARE Winners: Huilin Li, Jill Koshiol, Idan Menashe, and Dean Hosgood
The DCEG Fellows Award for Research Excellence (D-FARE) is a travel award offered for the professional development of young scientists in the Division.
The award, initiated by the DCEG Office of Education Advisory Group, recognizes fellows who have made exceptional contributions to scientific research projects. The contributions can include formulating the idea, study design, fieldwork, analysis, or interpretation of results, and the fellow must have had a major role in drafting a manuscript. Special consideration is given to projects in which fellows demonstrate growth beyond the discipline of their previous training. This year, four D-FARE winners will receive $1,500 each for travel to present their research at a scientific meeting.
Attendance at scientific meetings is critical to the fellowship experience, and the competition allows a greater number of fellows to participate in meetings, exposing them to important new scientific developments and permitting them to make vital connections with other scientists.
A group of senior DCEG scientists judged the submissions and made recommendations to the DCEG Director, who decided on the winners. Awards were announced in October, and funds must be used by the end of the fiscal year.
The winners are as follows:
- H. Dean Hosgood, III, Ph.D., Occupational and Environmental Epidemiology Branch: Association between genetic variants in VEGF, ERCC3, and occupational benzene hematotoxicity.
- Jill Koshiol, Ph.D., Infections and Immunoepidemiology Branch: Evaluation of the presence and functionality of human papillomavirus in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma in Linxian, China.
- Huilin Li, Ph.D., Biostatistics Branch (BB): Covariate adjustment and ranking methods to identify regions with high and low mortality rates.
- Idan Menashe, Ph.D. (BB): Do disparate outcomes after diagnosis explain Black-White racial disparity in breast cancer mortality?
