CTSC Research Discovery Day: A Celebration of Collaboration and Career Exploration in Clinical and Translational Research
Date: March 21, 2025
Location: Tinkham Veale University Center, Case Western Reserve University (all Ballrooms)
The Clinical and Translational Science Collaborative of Northern Ohio invites you on a journey to explore translational research projects, career paths in clinical research, and to learn more about the variety of services offered within the CTSC.
CTSC Research Discovery Day aims to:
-
Celebrate successful collaborative research from the CTSC and its partner institutions (Case Western Reserve University, Cleveland Clinic, MetroHealth, Northeast Ohio Medical University (NEOMED), University Hospitals, University of Toledo and the VA Northeast Ohio Health System (VANEOHS))
-
Showcase the variety of services and opportunities available from the CTSC
-
Provide local high school and undergraduate students an opportunity to explore career paths in clinical research
Many aspects of clinical and translational research will be highlighted in this day-long symposium. Poster sessions will showcase a variety of CTSC-supported research among its partner institutions. Selected abstracts will be presented as short oral presentations.
A keynote speaker and panels to showcase the vast number of careers in clinical research (i.e. finance specialists, project managers, investigators) will also take place, so students can learn about daily responsibilities and their paths to these careers. There will be opportunities for CTSC resources and services among all CTSC partners to have informational tables at the event, with staff/faculty available to promote their services, discuss careers, and answer questions from attendees.
In a unique twist on conventional scientific symposiums, high school students, undergraduates and investigators will be matched-up, based on overlapping research interests, for a networking lunch.. Additionally, select high school students will be paired with a poster judge to learn the intricacies of judging scientific posters.
To ensure student involvement, ‘passports’ will be used to engage students as they make their way through the symposium. (i.e. to get a stamp on their passport, they will need to complete certain tasks, like asking questions at a poster, networking with an investigator, etc.). If they obtain all of the required stamps, they will be entered to win a scholarship.. Scholarship funds will be donated from our various partners, sponsor companies, and other organizations.
