Call for Application: Fall 2022 Course
|
|
The CCTS Translational Innovation Program is excited to promote the fall 2022 cohort of the Entrepreneurship for Biomedicine (E4B) training program from our CTSA partner at Washington University in St. Louis.
Free and fully online, E4B is open to pre- and post-graduate biomedical research trainees and junior faculty from across the US interested in developing skills in entrepreneurial thinking that can be applied whether you continue in academia, work in industry, form a nonprofit venture, or create a new startup!
Throughout the program, you will work on a team with other trainees to identify and innovatively solve problems in these challenging times. Your team will have access to successful entrepreneurs and innovators who serve as mentors to help you complete and present an executive summary and pitch deck for your innovation.

The course describes in detail a range of recent and ongoing research activities — from preclinical to clinical to population health — that were led or supported by NCATS in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Through this lens, the course teaches students effective approaches and strategies in translational science that have been key to the success of these efforts and are generalizable to other translational research activities.
Students will learn about the myriad ways NCATS is contributing to research to address the COVID-19 pandemic and will leave the course equipped with a set of wide-ranging translational science strategies they can apply in their future work in translational research.
Dates: June 15-August 2, 2022

ResearchMatch [external link] brings together people who are trying to find research studies and clinical trials, and researchers who are looking for volunteers.
- ResearchMatch is a national volunteer registry that researchers at OSU can use to find potential volunteers at no cost.
- ResearchMatch is an effective, useful, and complementary recruitment tool that will help connect willing volunteers with researchers who are searching for appropriate volunteers to be placed in their research studies.
Researchers, if you are interested in learning how you can use ResearchMatch to recruit participants for your study, email Mary Becker [email] at the CCTS to learn more.
