Irving Institute Announces 2017 Irving Scholars

Recognizing the importance of training young clinical investigators, in 1987 Herbert and Florence Irving initiated the prestigious "Irving Scholars" Assistant Professor awards. Scholars are selected on the basis of research proposals that reflect independent, well-developed scientific initiative in clinical and translational investigation. These three-year awards provide substantial salary support, $60,000, allowing the Scholar more time for clinical investigation. The 2017-2020 Irving Scholars are:
