Re-examining Our Approach to Research:
Translational Science Lessons from the Pandemic

October 12, 2022, 8 am - 1 pm (Via Zoom)
The COVID-19 pandemic laid bare the urgent need to employ research methodologies better suited to more effectively, efficiently and equitably move therapeutics, vaccines and other interventions from bench to bedside to community. Reflecting on lessons learned, this conference will focus on successes and opportunities to deploy research effectively, efficiently and equitably, including methodologies that were adapted or expanded such as community engaged methods, use of a learning health system approach and application of medical informatics. Register here for the 10th Annual CTSI Translational Science Symposium
