The University of Iowa Carver College of Medicine will name 49 faculty members Impact Scholars. Among those 49 faculty members, seven are apart of the Diabetes Research Center. Impact Scholars are considered to be researchers who have made a major scientific impact over the course of their careers. They are based on the Hirsch index (h-index), which represents the number of research papers a faculty member has published, and the papers’ impact as estimated by how many times they have been cited by other scientists and scholars in subsequent research articles.
