The ACTG congratulates the 2021 Tuberculosis Transformative Science Group Special Contributions Award recipients: Nishi Suryavanshi, PhD, from the Byramjee Jeejeebhoy Medical College CRS and Yvetot Joseph, MD, from the GHESKIO Institute of Infectious Diseases and Reproductive Health CRS. This award was developed to recognize the many site team members and investigators that go above and beyond to help implement TB Studies at their sites. The TB TSG recognized there are no current ACTG awards for these individuals and believe it is important to recognize their efforts. Congratulations, Drs. Suryavanshi and Joseph!!
