We are pleased to announce that Associate Professor Jonathan Dunn has been selected to join the 2025–26 Emerging Research Leaders Academy.

 

The Emerging Research Leaders Academy (ERLA) considers the unique needs of mid-career faculty at Illinois to achieve research success. This program provides vital leadership and team science training that will help faculty pursue large, multi-PI grants, lead campus research initiatives, enhance their own research programs, and ultimately position Illinois for research excellence.

Fifteen researchers were selected by nomination process from multiple departments across campus to join thee 2025-2026 cohort. These researchers will participate in programs that will support development of leadership and management skills and encourage the application of those skills to research. 

 The ERLA program is facilitated by Interdisciplinary Health Sciences Institute (IHSI), in partnership with Beckman Institute for Advanced Science and Technology, Carle Illinois College of Medicine, Carl R. Woese Institute for Genomic Biology, College of Applied Health Sciences, College of Liberal Arts & Sciences, Grainger College of Engineering, and Office of Proposal Development.
