Congratulations to Stephani Stancil, Ph.D., APRN on her K23 Award!
By Kelly Hale, Marketing & Communications Coordinator
Jun 27, 2023
Stephani Stancil, who works at Children’s Mercy Kansas City, has been with the KL2 Scholar program for the past year and will be moving on to work on her K23 project, which allows her to complete a fully powered clinical trial to evaluate neuroimaging as a pharmacodynamic biomarker of opioid antagonism in teens. This work is important because biomarkers of response for drugs that work in the brain are extremely limited in pediatrics. Being able to see what’s happening at the individual level near the site of action (i.e. brain) will allow us to do a better job treating teens with mental health conditions.
“The KL2 program was helpful in many ways,” she said. “The program provided structured mentorship, which is truly priceless, along with professional development opportunities and connections with other CTSI sites. I was able to connect with UC- San Diego and meet other eating disorder researchers through the KL2 visiting scholar program.”
And how have mentors helped her to this point in her career?
“Mentorship is truly priceless. I would not be at this stage without the strong mentorship I have received from folks at Children’s Mercy and the University of Kansas Medical Center. Having the opportunity to develop mentor/mentee relationships with experts across institutions is a huge benefit of the KL2 and Frontiers as a whole.”
