Shagufta Shaheen

SCI member Shagufta Shaheen, MD, was among the 64 physicians selected for the 2022 Robert A. Winn Career Development Award (Winn CDA) cohort. The early-stage investigators are the second group to be trained through the two-year program, which aims to train more than 290 community-oriented clinical trialists by 2027.

The goal of Winn CDA is to increase the diversity of patients enrolled in clinical trials and, ultimately, to enhance the development of therapeutics for all populations. The program collaborates with communities to facilitate an approach to clinical and translational research that is community-informed, designed, and conducted. It provides emerging investigators the sponsorship, support, and tools they need to conduct clinical trials that will yield new treatments effective in all populations.
