NIH Fellow Named!
Erik Olson, a 4th year student in Dr. Karin Musier-Forsyth’s lab, has been named a Ruth L. Kirschstein Predoctoral Individual National Research Service Award F31 Fellowship (2016-2018).
From the NIH website:
The purpose of the Kirschstein-NRSA predoctoral fellowship (F31) award is to enable promising predoctoral students to obtain individualized, mentored research training from outstanding faculty sponsors while conducting dissertation research in scientific health-related fields relevant to the missions of the participating NIH Institutes and Centers. The proposed mentored research training must reflect the applicant’s dissertation research project and is expected to clearly enhance the individual’s potential to develop into a productive, independent research scientist.
