Early Career Development Awards
Congratulations to the 2008 Early Career Development Awardees! In 2007, CSCR offered for the first time seven $10,000 awards to K Awardees. We received over 20 high-quality applications for the award and the Selection Committee had the difficult task of selecting seven awardees based on the quality of their research and letters of support. As this was a new venture, the leadership of CSCR looks forward to offering and enhancing this program for 2009. Watch for announcements in September.

The 2008 Early Career Development Awardees are:

David Aronoff
University of Michigan

Rishi Arora
Northwestern University

Farr Curlin
University of Chicago

Jeffrey Jacobson

Antony Kim

Their work will be presented at the 2008 Combined Annual Meeting and we are excited to have these outstanding clinical and basic scientists participate and share their research.
