Benjamin French elected to NCRP
Benjamin French, PhD, professor of biostatistics and director of graduate studies, has been elected to the National Council for Radiation Protection and Measurements (NCRP) for a six-year term. Chartered by Congress in 1964, the NCRP provides scientific analysis, information, and recommendations concerning radiation protection, and its council consists of one hundred leading scientists. Dr. French joined the NCRP's program area committee on Basic Criteria, Epidemiology, Radiobiology, and Risk in Fall 2023. He serves as an expert advisor to the Department of Statistics at the Radiation Effects Research Foundation and contact PI of the R01-funded "Optimizing the implementation of personalized risk-prediction models for venous thromboembolism among hospitalized adults" study; he was also PI of "Evaluation of time-dependent covariates in radiation dose-response models in the Million Person Study," supported by Oak Ridge Associated Universities and is co-investigator of the NASA-sponsored "Evaluation of dementia and cognitive tests among workers exposed to low-LET radiation." He joined the department in 2020.
Congratulations to Dr. French!
First-authored paper in Academic Medicine by Mario Davidson
Congratulations to associate professor and associate vice chair of equity, diversity, and inclusion Mario Davidson on the publication of Evaluating the Role of Competency-Based Behavioral Interviewing in Holistic Medical School Admissions, published online ahead of print today in Academic Medicine, the journal of the Association of American Medical Colleges. Dr. Davidson and his colleagues investigated the role of behavioral interviews in admission decisions and whether they help "reduce bias related to over-reliance on standardized metrics."
Early registration for the 2024 ICSA Applied Statistics Symposium is open

Publications by faculty and staff, January - February 2024
The following citations from January and February 2024 were compiled via VUMC's CTSA-funded FlightTracker app (bold denotes department members; asterisks denote students, postdocs, or other trainees), totaling more than 70 peer-reviewed publications, plus a few preprints.
In addition to those in the below roundup, there were several papers authored by personnel now affiliated with other departments or institutions, and a few more eluded the pull because of timestamp weirdness.
Congratulations to all the researchers whose work is now being shared with the wider world!

Editorial by Hakmook Kang in Kidney Research and Clinical Practice
Congratulations to associate professor Hakmook Kang on the publication of his editorial "On operational definitions of mortality" by Kidney Research and Clinical Practice on February 19 as an ePub ahead of print.
A genomics publication hat trick
For the third year in a row, a paper co-authored by assistant in biostatistics and director of informatics software development Shawn Garbett has been identified as one of the year's most significant publications in genomic medicine implementation. The Genomic Medicine Working Group of the National Advisory Council for Human Genome Research of the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) named "Population genomic screening for three common hereditary conditions: A cost-effectiveness analysis" one of 2023's ten key advances in its annual literature review. Professor Jonathan Schildcrout contributed to the article's conception, design, and revision, as well as statistical expertise. The study is discussed further in a feature by the Department of Health Policy.
In 2022, Garbett and his colleagues were commended for "Cost-effectiveness of population-wide genomic screening for Lynch syndrome in the United States." In 2021, the working group highlighted "Cost-effectiveness of population-wide genomic screening for hereditary breast and ovarian cancer in the United States" as one of the year's most noteworthy studies.

Garbett and Schildcrout are faculty biostatisticians on projects with the Vanderbilt Biostatistics Data Coordinating Center.
