Abdul-Razzak Alamir, M.D., a fellow in the University of Florida College of Medicine-Jacksonville Endocrinology Program, is the recipient of the prestigious Fellows Development Research Program in Diabetes, Obesity, and Fat Cell Biology awarded by the Endocrine Fellows Foundation (EFF).
This research grant provides for clinical grants in the area of cardiometabolic disorders in obesity and diabetes. The $20,000 award will support his research project entitled “The Effects of Niacin on Apo A-I Gene Expression and HDLc Synthesis.”
The object of the Endocrine Fellows Foundation grant is to foster career development; therefore this grant is potentially renewable for up to three years, including post-fellowship research. Successful grantees will be required to present their research at an EFF scientific forum and publish abstracts of their research in the EFF publication EndoTrends.
