Kudos:
Yates to Serve on NIH Study Section

Scripps Research Institute Professor John Yates has been invited to serve a four-year term as a member of the Enabling Bioanalytical and Biophysical Technologies Study Section of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Center for Scientific Review. Study sections review grant applications submitted to the NIH, make recommendations on these applications to the appropriate NIH national advisory council or board, and survey the status of research in their fields of science.

According to Brent Stanfield, acting director of the Center for Scientific Review, study section members "are selected on the basis of their demonstrated competence and achievement in their scientific discipline as evidenced by the quality of research accomplishments, publications in scientific journals, and other significant scientific activities, achievements, and honors. Service on a study section also requires mature judgment and objectivity a well as the ability to work effectively in a group, qualities we believe Dr. Yates will bring to this important task."
