SPRING 2009 INTRAMURAL RESEARCH AWARDS
Shahinaz Gadalla, Dean Hosgood, and Ying Gao.
DCEG Intramural Research Awards (IRAs) are competitive funding opportunities designed to encourage innovative, interdisciplinary research by fellows and tenure-track scientists. The IRA program includes spring and fall cycles, with up to three proposals funded per cycle.
The winners of the spring 2009 competition were Shahinaz M. Gadalla, M.D., Ph.D., a cancer prevention fellow in the Clinical Genetics Branch, for her proposal "Donor and recipient telomere length as predictors of outcomes after hematopoietic stem cell transplant in patients with acquired severe aplastic anemia"; Ying Gao, M.D., Ph.D., Genetic Epidemiology Branch, for "Gene-specific methylation in colorectal carcinogenesis in the PLCO (Prostate, Lung, Colorectal and Ovarian) Study"; and H. Dean Hosgood, III, Ph.D., Occupational and Environmental Epidemiology Branch, for "Relation of combustion-derived nanoparticle exposure to inflammation and oxidative stress."
Members of the NCI Board of Scientific Counselors and senior DCEG scientists reviewed the proposals. They were judged on their potential for significant scientific and public health impact, innovation, interdisciplinary nature, ability to achieve the objectives within the proposed time frame and resources, and relevance to the mission of the Division.
