Renamed the UC San Francisco Society of Hellman Fellows, the fellowship program will continue providing UCSF assistant professors support for outstanding research at the career juncture when startup funding is often exhausted and first grants may not yet have been obtained.
“My parents, Warren and Chris Hellman, used to say that creating the Hellman Fellows program was one of the best things our family ever did,” said Frances Hellman, the Hellman Fellows Fund’s president. “The discoveries, commitment, and great potential of UCSF faculty continue to inspire us year after year,” she said. “We are thrilled to be carrying on our father’s legacy by ensuring that Hellman Fellowships can exist in perpetuity throughout the University of California system.”

During the acute phase of the COVID-19 pandemic, emergency department doctors, nurses and other frontline staff experienced unprecedented levels of stress and emotional exhaustion that included nightmares or insomnia, according to a UC San Francisco-led study of emergency departments across the country.
The study, among the first to assess mental health effects of the pandemic at a geographically diverse sample of emergency rooms, found that nearly one-fifth of the ER staff were at elevated risk for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
The study also reported that regular testing for COVID-19 helped to reduce stress among emergency personnel, particularly for those with previous positive antibody results.
