Annual Progress Report of the Department of Clinical Investigation, Reports Control Symbol MED-300(R-1), Fiscal Year 1992

Abstract

Tripler Department of Clinical Investigation had an exciting year in FY92. Despite serious challenges to research in the form of personnel freezes, funding cuts, and increasing demands on health care professionals to provide clinical services, there was no significant fall in research productivity. More impressively, Dr. Cathy Yamauchi-Uyehara was awarded an American Heart Association grant after submitting the highest ranked proposal for the AHA district. This was mad more significant in view of the AHA policy to not award grants to military investigators. The Joint Tripler AMC/Kapiolani Medical Center for Women and Children's Neonatal Fellowship Program, which conducts all non- human studies in Tripler's DCI, has continued to maintain its position at the forefront of neonatal pulmonary medicine. The contributions of Dr. John Claybaugh, Tripler's senior scientist, to both research and administration of DCI are undiminished. MAJ Thomas Mundie has provided inspiration to all phases of research at Tripler, and especially to the Joint Neonatal Fellowship Program.
