Audra Crouch was awarded a pre-doctoral fellowship under the “Interdisciplinary Program in Microbe-Host Biology” NIH/NIAID T32 Training Grant, jointly administered by the Infectious Diseases Institute (IDI) and Department of Microbial Infection and Immunity (MI&I) at The Ohio State University. Apart from covering the graduate school stipend, tuition and fees, the fellowship also includes funds for travel to one scientific meeting per year. We congratulate Audra on this very well-deserved recognition of her scientific acumen as a researcher!
