On July 15, 2019, Dr. Francis S. Collins presented our own Dr. Newman with the 2019 Ruth L. Kirschstein Mentoring Award.
The Ruth L. Kirschstein Mentoring Award is given to individuals who have demonstrated significant leadership, skill, and ability in serving as mentor to one or more individuals. It was initiated to give formal recognition, support, and encouragement to those individuals who are both officially and voluntarily giving of their time and efforts in mentoring activities and to establish mentoring as a core value at NIH.
Congratulations, Dr. Newman!
