Important Details for Translational Science Scientific Proposals
- Translational Science 2026 will be IN PERSON ONLY. If selected, all scientific proposals must be presented in person in Milwaukee, WI.
- Session panel participants must be from various institutions, so the meeting attendees receive the benefit of cross-institutional collaboration. A strong justification is required for proposals in which all participants are from the same institution.
- Panel participants are encouraged to reflect diversity in gender, background (especially underrepresented groups), and career stage. Proposals that do not include such diversity should provide a brief explanation.
