We would like to express our sincere thanks to everyone who has contributed to advancing the work of the Institute for Health Transformation this year. Your efforts have been invaluable —whether through participating in Leadership Group Workshops, reviewing grants during development sessions, undertaking peer review, judging awards, serving on committees (Research, Diversity and Inclusion, EMCR), or supporting ADPRF applicants through internal reviews, development sessions, or assessments. These activities simply would not have been possible without your dedication and expertise.
We also extend a special acknowledgment to our EMCR cohort for their increasing participation in the above activities.
