NIH Recognizes 2010 FARE Winners
DCEG Winners: Lisa Mirabello, Tram Lam, Chu-Ling Yu, Joanne Watters, Idan Menashe, Hui-Lee Wong, Scott Quinlan, Sara Schonfeld, and Linda Dong.
The NIH Fellows Award for Research Excellence (FARE) Program recognizes achievement in scientific research by intramural postdoctoral fellows and predoctoral fellows currently enrolled in a Ph.D. program and conducting their doctoral dissertation research at NIH. Fellows submit abstracts of their research, which are reviewed by a panel of NIH postdoctoral fellows and principal investigators. Winners receive a $1,000 travel stipend to attend and present their work at a scientific meeting. This year, nine DCEG fellows received such awards.
