4. What is "MicroResearch"?
November 3, 2022 | Virtual | 8:30 - 9:30 am MT

Working in interdisciplinary teams, MicroResearch (MR) participants take part in an educational workshop run by local researchers, where they learn the basics of research development, design, and implementation. In their teams, they are told to choose a question they see as being relevant to their community, which they will develop into a research proposal. This hands-on learning experience, combined with ongoing mentoring post-workshop, allows teams to go on to apply for small grants to conduct their studies.

7. Panel Discussion: The State of Technology in Real-World Data
October 26, 2022 | Virtual | 11:00 am MT


Real-world data (RWD) is no longer a buzzword or something from the future. With the 21st Century Cures act putting RWD in focus, and Food and Drug Administration (FDA) guidance issued in January 2022 on its use in regulatory decision-making, all functions within healthcare and life sciences need to understand the what, how, and when to use RWD for drug discovery, clinical development, and commercial use cases.
