The Annual Symposium Selection Committee Needs
You to Pick the Theme for the Spring CTSI Symposium
Dear Colleagues,

We want and need your input to directly inform the selection of the Annual Symposium Theme/Content and by extension facilitate a critical, ongoing open conversation about current and future Translational Science at BU/BMC.

Building on lessons learned at the 2020 Symposium, the Planning Committee determined that successful clinical and translational Science focused on improving health in individuals and in populations within communities is most effective when supporting diversity, equity, inclusivity, and justice (DEIJ).

To share our collective wisdom, ideas, as well as successes, and lessons learned, the BU CTSI will convene its 2022 Annual Scientific Symposium for our community of researchers, individuals, and individuals/organizations from the surrounding community.

We intend to create a trustworthy environment within the symposium to support collaboration, cooperation, and co-develop key solutions to tackle the most important individual, community, and population health issues of our day.
Theme Selection
  • Focus on improving the well-being of individuals and populations medically, scientifically, and socially,
  • Explore broad, complex, and intractable clinical phenomena that significantly impact the health and/or the burden of disease within individuals or communities.
  • Address all challenges in a transdisciplinary manner
  • Impact more than one of the following domains:

  1. Informatics, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion
  2. Training & Career development
  3. Translational science resources,
  4. Community & Collaboration both within the BU/BMC community as well as with other CTSA institutions
Please provide theme suggestion by January 14, 2022
