Faculty Awards

This year, we will be celebrating two new Research Day awards for faculty researchers.

Early Career Research Excellence Award

The EVMS Early Career Research Excellence Award will be presented each fall at EVMS Research Day to honor and recognize early career researchers or clinician scientists who have exhibited a significant contribution to their discipline through widely disseminated and impactful research relatively early in their academic careers.

This award recognizes the individual's outstanding research achievements, innovative approaches, influence within their academic field, and potential for continued excellence. It serves not only as recognition of their early accomplishments, but also as an encouragement to continue striving for research excellence throughout their academic careers.

Winners

Christina Risi, MD/PhD
Post-Doctoral/Clinical Fellow or Instructor
Physiological Sciences

 

Tetsuya Kawakita, MD
Assistant Professor
Obstetrics and Gynecology

 

Excellence in Research Mentorship Award

The Excellence in Research Mentorship Award will be presented each fall at EVMS Research Day to one mid-career or senior member of the EVMS faculty who has exhibited robust excellence in research mentorship. This award recognizes the accomplishments of EVMS faculty who have demonstrated exceptional mentoring in research to junior faculty, fellows, post-docs, and/or student trainees.

Winner

Diane M. Duffy, PhD
Professor and Vice Chair
