Can't Miss Case CCC TED Talks on July 25
Next week, we will come together as a center at our
Annual Scientific Retreat. Members, fellows, post-docs and trainees have the opportunity to enjoy each other's company, hear updates from leadership, discuss research findings across the spectrum from colleagues and participate in program-specific breakout sessions.
This year, we have opened a portion of our retreat to the community with engaging TED-style talks from three prominent researcher leaders from each of our affiliated institutions. These talks will take place
beginning at 5pm on Thursday
in the ballroom at Tinkham Veale University Center.
These three leaders in their fields provide remarkable insight and passion for breaking ground in new areas, leading by collaboration and always seeking to better mankind.
While I know you will enjoy each of these talks, I hope you will invite others to take the opportunity to hear from them as well.
View topics and read about each of Thursday's presenters>
Thursday's program is open to all and the
full retreat agenda is available for those members, fellows, post-docs and trainees registered for the two-day event. We look forward to seeing you there!

National Institutes of Health Lasker Clinical Research Scholars Program
Deadline: Aug 30, 2019
The National Institutes of Health, in partnership with
the Lasker Foundation, is pleased to announce the Lasker Clinical Research Scholars Program, an historic "intramural-extramural" partnership to nurture the next generation of clinical researchers. The program supports a small number of exceptional clinical researchers in the early stages of their careers to promote their development to fully independent positions. Successful candidates are designated as Lasker Clinical Research Scholars.
Lasker Scholars receive a unique combination of NIH funding for clinical research for up to 10 years. In the first phase of the program, Scholars will receive appointments for 5-7 years as tenure-track investigators within the NIH Intramural Research Program with independent budgets. In the second phase, successful Scholars will receive up to 3 years of NIH support for their research at an extramural research facility; or the Scholar can be considered to remain as an investigator within the intramural program.
L
asker Scholars will have access to the NIH Clinical Center, the nation's largest hospital devoted entirely to clinical research. Through an arrangement with the Lasker Foundation, Scholars will have the opportunity to participate in selected activities, including attendance at the Lasker Breakfast and Award Luncheon, and participation in annual scientific meetings.
