SFIM post-doc Sharif Kronemer and former graduate student Samika Kumar were awarded the 2026 NIMH Fellows Award for Research Excellence (FARE). Fellows have the opportunity to submit an abstract to a blind study section; the top 25% of abstracts are selected as FARE winners. FARE winners receive a stipend for travel and the opportunity to present their research at the NIH Research Festival or an NIH Special Interest Group seminar series. Congratulations, Sharif and Samika!
