Alumna Dr. Peters Selected for the PECASE Award
Ulrike Peters.
Among 100 recipients, Dr. Ulrike Peters, former postdoctoral fellow in the Nutritional Epidemiology Branch, was selected for the Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers (PECASE) by President Obama. The PECASE is the highest honor bestowed by the U.S. government on young professionals in the early stages of their independent research careers.
The award was initiated by President Clinton in 1996. Winners are selected based on two criteria: (1) pursuit of innovative research at the frontiers of science and technology and (2) a commitment to community service, demonstrated through scientific leadership, public education, and community outreach. Winning scientists receive up to a five-year research grant to further their study in support of critical government missions.
Dr. Peters will be recognized at the White House ceremony in the fall. She is currently a research associate professor of epidemiology at Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle, Washington.
