Obituary - Gerald V. Mohatt

It is with great sadness that we notify the IDeA community that Professor Gerald Mohatt passed away in February after a long battle with a chronic illness. Jerry was the founding Director of the Center for Alaska Native Health Research about 10 years ago and was one of the first COBRE awardees. He is recognized nationally for his work with Alaska Natives and other indigenous people. Jerry was a very active member of the IDeA community, a member of the NAIPI council and worked hard to build the excellence of the IDeA program. He will be missed by all of us.
