The DHIP is pleased to announce that 11 DHIP Members from six clinical departments have received grants to expand their involvement in basic science research. An additional 23 DHIP Members were awarded a second year of funding to continue their research. [CLICK TO SEE LAST YEAR’S RECIPIENTS]
The ENhanced Academics in a Basic Laboratory Environment (ENABLE) program provides up to two years of salary support to DHIP members to dedicate a portion of their effort working closely with a primary research team.
“The clinical department chairs and the DHIP are committed to supporting the professional development of our faculty and to conducting research that leads to real world answers,” said Mark F. Newman, MD, president of the Duke Health Integrated Practice. “ENABLE provides our clinical faculty with the time to engage with faculty from across the School of Medicine and the School of Engineering to make discoveries that are translated into practice.”
