The DHIP is pleased to announce that 25 DHIP Members from eight clinical departments have received grants to expand their involvement in basic science research. 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 goals of the ENABLE program are to support the career development of DHIP members and to embed a clinician into a research environment to advance the research and clinical program.
