Perlin Named Acting VA Research
Chief
December 12, 2003 - Department of Veterans Affairs
Deputy Under Secretary for Health Jonathan Perlin, M.D., Ph.D.,
Dec. 5 was named Acting Chief Research and Development Officer
(CRADO) of the VA research program until further notice. Due
to a pressing family concern, former CRADO Nelda Wray, M.D.,
M.P.H., has returned to Houston for an indefinite period.
VA officials also announced that, "out of fairness,"
a decision was made to award funding to the 15 investigators
whose grants were not funded by Dr. Wray after being verbally
approved prior to her appointment.
