E. Dale Abel, MD, PhD, will be honored with the inaugural Network of Minority Health Research Investigators (NMRI) Medallion from the NMRI for his years of significant service and contribution to the network. He will receive the NMRI Medallion at the network’s annual meeting to be held in April 2017.
The NMRI—established by the Office of Minority Health Research Coordination at the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK)—acts as a communication network of current and potential biomedical research investigators interested in minority health research, and individuals from traditionally underserved communities, who conduct research within the scientific purview of the NIDDK.
