Call for Mentors: TEAMS Program
Are you a mid- to senior-level faculty member who enjoys mentoring others? Are you looking to enhance your mentoring and communications skills and help a junior colleague? Georgia CTSA TEAMS (Translational Education and Mentoring for Science) is seeking learning community mentors, one-on-one mentors, and content experts to participate in the 2022-2023 academic year program.
Would you like assistance reviewing your grant proposal? DOM researchers can request grant writing and editing services from Janet Gross, PhD on projects including resubmissions, career development awards, and multicenter grants. These services are offered through a cost sharing effort between the department and the researcher’s division, and must be approved by both.
Emory Facilities and Resources Boilerplate Language Library is a centralized resource of up-to-date, reviewed language describing research and academic resources available at Emory. The primary intent of this resource is to provide reference template language to be used and personalized for writing grant proposals, progress reports and other documents that need to highlight Emory's institutional environment.
DOM RAS is requesting the following timelines for pre-award requests to the Pre-Award Inbox: - Proposals, Progress Reports, Other Support Requests: at least two weeks prior to sponsor deadline. Requests made earlier than two weeks are always appreciated.
- Proposals with Subrecipients and/or Cost Share: at least one month prior to due date.
- Finalized files: at least five business days prior to the sponsor deadline.

Jason Brown
Assistant Professor – Digestive Diseases
2022 FAME Grant Awardee What is your professional background?
I have a BS in Biology and a BA in Political Science from the University of Georgia. I received my MD from Emory in 2010. I also completed Internal Medicine Residency and Gastroenterology Fellowship here at Emory. Although I have enjoyed every step of my education, I particularly value my Political Science degree for the enduring cultural and civic perspective it affords me in the micro and macroscale practice of medicine. In what division do you work, and who is your mentor?
I work in the Division of Digestive Diseases. My mentor is Bhavin Adhyaru, an Associate Professor in the Division of General Internal Medicine. Tell us about your FAME grant project, why it is important, and what it means to you to receive funding?
We have been redesigning how GI patients are referred and flow through the entire Grady Health System, and the primary mechanism for this is a new GI referral Smart Order Set in Epic. This project is designed to accompany the roll out of this new Smart Order set, with two main aims. The first is to study the impact of this smart order set on referral volumes, triage of acuity, and scheduling efficiency; the second is to educate Grady providers and trainees about colon cancer screening options and increase the number of Grady patients who undergo colon cancer screening. This is critical, as our Grady patient population disproportionately suffers the ill effects of healthcare disparities, resulting in lower-than-average colorectal cancer screening rates as well as higher-than-average colorectal cancer incidence and mortality. Lives are being lost, and we have a real chance to help fix
this. What do you like most about Emory?
From day one of medical school, I have done all of my training here, so Emory feels like home and feels like family. I am incredibly proud to hold a degree from here, and I'm honored to now be teaching and contributing to our educational and research missions. What is your favorite movie or TV show?
Anything that keeps my 4-year-old happy! But with limited screen time, I like to sneak in Throttle House and Straight Pipes car reviews. What do you like to do in your spare time?
Taking my daughter for bike rides, visiting with my family, trying out new restaurants with friends, gardening, and cooking--especially Cajun and Creole food. What is a fun fact about you?
I have an 80qt pot, a propane burner, and I can throw a crawfish boil like a pro!
