Jill Berg, nursing science associate professor, will be among those feted at a Nov. 3 banquet for the Chancellor's Awards in Clinical & Translational Science. Organized by UCI's Institute for Clinical & Translational Science, the event - which encompasses a community health workshop earlier in the day - was created to recognize exceptional community-based clinical research and treatment efforts and to raise awareness of the need to quickly translate lab discoveries into clinical practice. Berg (pictured) will be honored as Outstanding Community Research Nurse. Other awardees include Cynthia Barnes-Boyd with the Chicago-based UIC Neighborhood Initiatives, who will receive the Chancellor's Commendation for Community-Based Participatory Research, and Costa Mesa's Share Our Selves, named Outstanding Community-Based Organization. Registration for the workshop and banquet is required.
