FEATURED ANNOUNCEMENTS
TeamStudy, the first app dedicated to player health, utilizes Apple's ResearchKit platform to conduct research in this critical area. TeamStudy allows researchers to study the health of former NFL players by following them in their daily lives, focusing on cognition, cardiac health, and pain and mobility. Both former players and the public are invited to download the app.
If you are interested in applying for this funding opportunity (see details under “Funding” in this newsletter), you must attend an event on April 11 at the Biological Labs Building, 16 Divinity Avenue, Cambridge, from 2:30-4:00pm. This event will include an optional Q&A session and tours of the Harvard Center for Biological Imaging (HCBI) and the Center for Nanoscale Systems (CNS) from 4:00-5:30pm. Further information about the event will be available after registration. If you are unable to attend this educational event, you are required to meet with a representative of HCBI and/or CNS to learn about the equipment and technologies available. Registration is required.
SPOTLIGHT
Reactor offers opportunities designed to assist researchers in crystallizing and expanding their ideas, and ultimately translating them into solutions that will impact human health. Read about two investigators and their projects as they advance from “Innovator” to Reactor’s second stage, “Incubator”.
HARVARD CATALYST EDUCATION
This two-day course will help emerging clinical and translational investigators navigate the complexities of the mentoring dynamic. With an emphasis on the perspective of the mentee, the course will explore the lifecycle of mentoring relationships through the presentation of case studies, lectures, as well as interactive sessions. Each session will address critical issues such as expectations and responsibilities, pitfalls and challenges, communication, and career development. Participants will learn how to direct their own mentee-mentor relationships, as well as understand the impact these relationships can have on both personal and academic success.
Before starting their basic/translational research fellowships, clinical fellows and residents have the opportunity to participate in the MoD Boot Camp. This popular three-week course is offered annually, and includes group activities such as interactive lectures presented by leading faculty on their recent discoveries, reviews of topical updates in biomedical science by leaders in academia, and panel discussions, among others.
HARVARD CATALYST EVENTS
This symposium, hosted by Harvard Catalyst’s Health Disparities Research Program and other sponsors, brings together researchers, clinicians, community members, city and state representatives, and school leaders to generate dialogue on how best to reduce LGBT bullying and meet the needs of LGBT youth experiencing bullying. See the website for the agenda and speakers, as well as registration.
