Sten Vermund's Tenure as Dean of YSPH Marked by Historic Gains...and COVID-19

Dean Sten Vermund in officeDr. Sten Vermund's time as dean of the Yale School of Public Health (YSPH) will forever be associated with COVID-19. While Vermund may be remembered for how he navigated the school through the most significant global health crisis in decades — the sudden transition to virtual learning, COVID tracking and surveillance, local and global guidance from faculty experts, and steep fluctuations in enrollment — there is much more to his legacy as a leader of one of the nation’s top public health schools.

CIRA Peer Review Program

Peer ReviewCIRA's Peer Review Program is designed to enhance the quality of grant proposals, manuscripts, and research presentations written by CIRA affiliates by sharing them with a multidisciplinary group of colleagues for their critique and feedback. The spirit of our program is one of collegiality and respect; it is constructive rather than evaluative in nature. We encourage peer review at any stage of development, from a 2-3 page concept sheet to a penultimate draft.

Please submit your request for Peer Review 4 weeks prior to requested review date. Review materials are due:

  • Specific Aims: 5 days in advance of the review date
  • Grant Sections (i.e. approach, significance etc): 7 days in advance of the review date
  • Full Grant proposal: 14 days in advance of the review date
  • Sections of a paper (i.e. methods, tables, discussion etc): 7 days in advance of the review date
  • Full Manuscript: 10 days in advance of the review date
  • Concept paper: 5 days in advance of the review date
  • Conference Presentation: nothing due in advance
  • Conference Poster: 5 days in advance of the review date

Sessions are held at CIRA's Offices (135 College Street, Suite 200, New Haven CT) on Zoom, or via email and last around one hour. Reviews are typically led by a primary reviewer; whose role is to provide oral and written feedback on each proposal. This is followed by the other reviewers’ feedback and then we hold a group discussion.

The peer review process has multiple benefits: Researchers gain from practical advice on products. Also, they offer a rare opportunity for a cross-section of the entire CIRA community – scientists, staff, community representatives and post-doctoral fellows – to keep abreast of and discuss the very latest research, to forge additional, cross-disciplinary collaborations, and to expand and build on professional networks.

To request a Peer Review, please click here. For further information or questions, please contact Daniel Davidson (daniel.davidson@yale.edu).

COVID-19 and HIV Resources

Coronavirus microscopeCIRA has launched a webpage that provides a wide range of resources surrounding COVID-19 and HIV. The webpage will be updated regularly as new information and materials become available. The resources include COVID-19-related funding opportunities, call for papers, research tools and guidance, and many more. Contact Dini Harsono (dini.harsono@yale.edu) for questions or comments about the web page.

Research Snapshot Series

Research Snapshot iconCIRA's Research Snapshot series features one page summaries of completed, peer reviewed and published studies conducted by our affiliated scientists. The summaries describe the reason for the study, the key findings, and implications for practice and policy, presented in plain language. Each of the briefs also include a link to a published article in a peer reviewed journal that derives from the featured study.

If you are a CIRA Affiliate and interested in submitting a brief for publication or just want to discuss the process, contact Pete Donohue, pete.donohue@yale.edu.
