Three biomedical science faculty at the Ohio University Heritage College of Osteopathic Medicine (OU-HCOM) recently received substantial research grant awards from the National Institutes of Health (NIH): Karen Coschigano, Ph.D., assistant professor; Mario Grijalva, Ph.D., associate professor; and Mark Berryman, Ph.D., associate professor.

Both Grijalva and Berryman developed their NIH-winning grant proposals with support from OU-HCOM’s Competitive Grant Program. The program, which began in 2005, assists faculty in developing successful NIH research proposals, utilizing constructive feedback from experts across the nation.
