Dr. Mary Roberts Davis received a Mentored Research Scientist Development Award (K01) through the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute and the NIH. Her proposed study entitled "Leveraging Informatics to Optimize Cardiovascular Risk Prediction in Women" will first validate the new cardiovascular risk prediction equations, called PREVENT, in the All of Us dataset and aims to improve on risk prediction for females by adding female-specific factors (such as pregnancy and menopause data) to the equation. Mentors for this award include Drs. Jackie Shannon (primary mentor), David Dorr, Nicole Weiskopf, Jonathan Purnell, and Quin Denfeld.

Congratulations to Dr. Bethany Samuelson Bannow, recipient of an NIH Notice of Award for her K08 entitled "PAI 1, tPA, TFPI and Endometrial Endothelial Cells in Uterine Hemostasis." In addition, she is transitioning to a new position as director of the classical hematology program at Cleveland Clinic. 

Amy Moran (supplement PI) and Co-Is Deanne Tibbitts (current BIRCWH Scholar), Noah Hornick, Molly Thomas, and Megan Ruhland were awarded a cross-programmatic administrative supplement in response to the NCI’s request for Administrative Supplements to Advance Development of Transdisciplinary and Large-Scale Population Science and Cancer Control Research Projects. The 1-year proposal is titled, “Biology of the hormonal regulation of cancer and immune-oncology outcomes research proposal” with a goal of understanding how patient hormone receptor tissue expression intersects with the biology of tumor immune responses, treatment toxicities, and patient outcomes.
