Important Details for Translational Science Scientific Proposals
- Translational Science 2027 will be IN PERSON ONLY. If selected, all scientific proposals must be presented in person in Washington, DC.
- Panel participants are typically from various institutions so meeting attendees receive the benefit of cross-institutional collaboration. However, this is not a requirement and in some cases, it is most appropriate for participants to be from the same institution, for example when presenting a unique program. Panel sessions are limited to 3-4 participants to ensure in -depth discussion of the topic.
- A broad representation of background, career stage, and geographic locations is strongly encouraged.
Topics
Designed to provide a focused and well-rounded experience, the Translational Science scientific program centers around a variety of topic areas. Proposals should center around these topics:
- Biostatistics, Epidemiology, and Research Design
- Contemporary Research Challenges
- Education, Career Development, and Workforce Development
- Evaluation
- Health and Community Engagement
- Informatics, AI and Data Science
- Mid-Career
- Precision Medicine/Health
- Regulatory Science
- Research Management, Operations, and Administration
- Scientific principles and guidelines
