She is generous in offering opportunities to collaborate on research to faculty just beginning their clinical trial adventures at Georgetown."
Further, Dr. Kumar was recognized for making a "deliberate effort to mentor junior as well as senior faculty. She is noted as going out of her way to provide and support career development opportunities for faculty both in her division as well as outside her division. She supports her faculty in developing expertise in certain areas of infectious diseases by providing research opportunities, sending them to conferences, and nominating them to be on leading committees.
