The 2011 Clinical and Translational Research and Education Meeting, sponsored by the Association for Clinical Research Training (ACRT), the Society for Clinical and Translational Science (SCTS), and the American Federation for Medical Research (AFMR) brings together trainees, educators, and all others engaged in clinical and translational science.

The meeting focuses on educational sessions designed to provide information on the latest developments in the techniques and processes vital for the successful conduct of clinical and translational science. It also will contain plenary sessions in which leaders from government, industry, academia, and philanthropy provide their perspectives on the state of the discipline and its future direction.

The goals of the 2011 Clinical and Translational Research and Education Meeting are:

  • To inspire the participants by identifying the great successes of clinical and translational research and   describing how they have improved the lives of so many people
  • To provide exciting and dynamic career development programs for trainees and their mentors
  • To provide participants with the most up-to-date and valuable information in clinical and translational science
  • To provide scholars an opportunity to present their research to a supportive group of their peers, educators, and senior investigators
  • To provide educators a venue to present best practices in clinical and translational research career development.

Why Attend?
The 2011 Clinical and Translational Research and Education Meeting is the place that all scholars, educators, and others engaged in clinical and translational science need to be.
