The Chair’s Research Development Fund (CRDF) supports several goals related to maintaining high quality research training programs. Primary goals are:

• Increase the number of extramurally--funded junior investigators
• Encourage integration of trainees into research projects
• Enhance mentor-mentee collaborations within and across department divisions
• Increase minority representation among funded junior investigators

The Weight Management Center is offering a new program! Jump-Start is a 4-week long program, featuring 5 virtual or in-person sessions with our staff, and a diet that is based largely on meal replacement products (shakes and bars).

We are targeting several different groups of people who may find it a good fit for their needs:

1. People who have lost weight previously and are starting to regain a bit, who want a little boost to get back in the swing of things
2. People who have a small amount of weight to lose and don’t need a lengthier program
3. People who may have more weight to lose, but are not able to commit to a lengthier program and wish to “jump-start” their efforts with a partial supplementation meal plan and solid initial dietary exercise and behavioral guidance
