New Grants & Awards

Ted Cohen

Dr. Cohen received the New Innovator award from the NIH. He hopes it will help expand some of the international reach of the infectious disease agenda of Epidemiology at HSPH.

 

Goodarz Danaei

Goodarz’s dissertation paper on causes of death in the US won the best medical open access article in a vote taken by the journal.

 

Jeffrey Katz

Dr. Katz was awarded a competitive revision in the NIH ARRA Program. The award will permit my colleagues and I to obtain follow up knee MRI scans on participants in our multicenter trial of arthroscopic partial meniscectomy vs nonoperative therapy in patients with symptomatic meniscal tear and osteoarthritis. The principal trial question is whether surgery results in superior pain relief and the additional grant permits us to address a critical issue: whether surgery on the meniscus accelerates underlying osteoarthritis in these patients.

 

Neal Lakdawala

Neal won the Jay Cohn New Investigator award from the Heart Failure Society of America.

 

Alkes Price

Dr. Price is the HSPH subcontract-PI of a recently funded Challenge Grant on "Enabling imputation and CNV analysis in genetic studies in African Americans" in collaboration with colleagues at UMMC (PI: Jim Wilson), HMS and the Broad Institute.
