Graduate Student Research Award - APIC APIC Award & Scholarships Graduate Student Research Award Graduate Student Research Award The APIC Graduate Student Research Award supports research and quality improvement efforts that advance infection prevention and evidence-based implementation science.
Julie Yang is a recent Master of Public Health graduate from the University of Maryland, College Park, with a concentration in Health Care Management. Her capstone project, Is There a Seasonal Pattern of Surgical Site Infections at a Large Community Hospital? , examined potential seasonal trends in SSIs and identified contributing procedural and patient-related factors.
While her preliminary findings showed no significant seasonal pattern, they highlighted opportunities to focus on procedural and patient variables for infection prevention. Julie plans to continue exploring operating room environmental factors to expand her analysis. She currently serves as an Infection Control Intern at Luminis Health.
Outside of work, she enjoys attending concerts and baking.

On June 1, DARPA and NSF announced AI Forge — a jointly governed forum that will fund university-led research on three thrusts: AI interpretability, AI control, and adversarial robustness. The RFI on sam.gov closes June 22, 2026, at 5:00 PM ET. Project Ventures awards run roughly $750K to $3M with one-year durations and multiple awards expected annually. Administration runs through a nonprofit, intellectual property will be shared via open-source licensing, and CAISI at NIST is the third partner. Here is what the 15 priority research challenges look like and how U.S. universities should respond.
Read articleDARPA and NSF launched a joint program on June 1 to fund university work on AI interpretability, control, and adversarial robustness. Awards run $750K to $3M+ per project, the forum launches this summer, and the universities listed in the AI Forge repository will sit closest to the money. The Request for Information closes June 22.
Read articleOn June 1, 2026, DARPA and the National Science Foundation announced AI Forge — a jointly governed forum that will fund, guide, and manage university-led research on AI interpretability, AI control, and adversarial robustness. The RFI on sam.gov closes June 22. The forum itself will be administered by a new nonprofit launching in summer 2026. The structure is what matters: this is not a one-off solicitation, it is a multi-year venue for university-government-industry research that operates outside the normal merit-review timelines of either agency. What university research teams should be doing in the seventeen-day window between the announcement and the RFI deadline — and what the forum model means for federal AI funding through FY 2028.
