Last week, CTSI awarded four young researchers with travel awards so they can present their research at a national or international conference of their choice.
The winners are scholars in CTSI career development programs for students interested in research: the Undergraduate Research Program and the Advanced Research Program.
Scholars presented their research projects at a Sept. 17 reception for CTSI scholars and mentors. Posters were evaluated based on presenters' translational plans, including their project’s next steps, barriers to translation, and how the project will ultimately contribute to improving human health. Winners received $1,500 each.
