What Researchers at Beth Israel Lahey Health Are Saying
“Compared to the weekly BI-wide research emails, this is definitely more tailored and I had a lot more interesting hits that I didn’t know about. The Maternal Medication and Milk Research is a big program forecasted. This gives me time to talk to other people who are doing milk research to see if this is worthwhile. I can start forwarding to other interested collaborators."
—Dr. Ai-Ris Collier, MD, Beth Israel Lahey Health
“This one that first came up—I have never heard of The Diabetes Action and Research in Education Foundation. I looked at other people who had gotten funding from them, and they’re legitimate people doing really cool work, and it seems like exactly the sort of thing that I could apply for that I never heard of, so if that’s the only thing you sent me, that’s a huge win.”
—Dr. Alexander Banks, Ph.D., Beth Israel Lahey Health
