Brigham and Women's Hospital Awards and Honors News
Vishal S. Vaidya, PhD, of the Renal Division of BWH, has been awarded the NIH Pathway to Independence Award (K99/R00) from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences. Dr. Vaidya joins two other awardees also being honored this year by NIEHS for successful transition to tenure track or equivalent status. Dr. Vaidya received the postdoctoral fellowship award by National Kidney Foundation and a Scientist Development Grant Award by American Heart Association prior to receiving the K99/R00 award. The Pathway to Independence program aims to increase and maintain a strong cohort of new and talented NIH-supported independent investigators by providing an opportunity for postdoctoral scientists to receive both mentored and independent research support from the same grant award.
