- Review residents’ proposals for travel to national meetings to present abstracts that have been accepted, so that limited travel funds can be awarded
- Serve on a discussion panel for medical students interested in research
- Review R3 and fellow abstracts every spring to select the abstracts that will be presented orally and via poster on Resident Research Day and Fellow Research Day
- Select winners of the R3 research (Harriet Dustan) and mentor awards annually for presentation at the resident graduation dinner
