Enrichment Program
This Program is directed by Raghu Mirmira with Daisy Sahoo as Associate Director at MCW. The Enrichment Program is the focal point for the dissemination and exchange of knowledge within and between DRTC affiliated institutions, and around which all trainees benefit.
In this regard, training and development of the next generation of investigator is a major goal, and the Enrichment Program supports education and training through its support of 3 major diabetes-related NIDDK T32 training programs as well as other T32 programs (MSTP and Cardiovascular Diseases) relevant to the mission of the DRTC.
