Interactive Network Session I (Round Table Format)

Dr. Davyd Chung, NCI CRCHD

 

Participants will sit at a pre-assigned table (team) based on their similar research discipline and geographical region. The first 25 minutes will be devoted to a speed networking session in which each participant will spend around 3 minutes introducing themselves and conversing with the other participants one-on-one. Examples of networking topics will be: name, institution, research focus, and areas of collaboration needed. For the remaining 20 minutes, each team will be assigned a recently published cancer manuscript related to each team’s research discipline. The goal is for the team to work together to develop a draft Specific Aims Summary Page by the end of Session II and have a better understanding of grants writing and the review process. CRCHD will provide a paper template, and a Program Director (PD) will be available to help facilitate when needed. Session I will focus more on reading the manuscript and coming up with ideas.

11:30 AM - 12:15 PM

Break (Lunch On Your Own)

Participants will have the opportunity for one-on-one meetings and interactions with CRCHD PDs.

Plenary Interactive Session: Resilience in the Job Search (Thoughts on Being Happy)

Moderator, Dr. Sharon Milgram, NIH Office of Intramural Training and Education (OITE)

 

Biomedical research careers require technical expertise and a broader skill-set including the ability to lead and work on teams. In this workshop we will explore principles of leadership and management using principles of emotional intelligence. We will also discuss career planning, finding mentorship and thoughts on juggling the many responsibilities we all have. The workshop will be interactive and allow for discussion among participants.
