Faculty and staff from Rutgers Institute for Health centers and affiliated institutes received 2023 Rutgers Biomedical and Health Sciences Chancellor Awards.

According to the awards website: “Introduced in 2020, the Chancellor Awards were established to recognize and highlight the extraordinary work of faculty and staff. The awards, which include 10 faculty categories and eight staff categories, celebrate institution-wide excellence in research in the biomedical and health sciences; clinical care; community service; mentorship; education; leadership; diversity, equity, and inclusion; and staff service and support. Nominated by their peers, recipients of the awards are selected by the Chancellor Awards Committee, which reviews the contributions of the nominees.”
