Format and Goals
The 5th Annual MD2K All Hands Meeting will be held on Monday, October 1 and Tuesday, October 2, at the FedEx Institute of Technology on the University of Memphis campus and Shelby Farms Event Center. The MD2K Annual Meeting is the only annual event where all MD2K team members are required to attend in person. Attendees will include MD2K team members, Center staff, NIH/NSF officials, other BD2K affiliates, and University of Memphis officials. The goals of the annual meeting are to interact face-to-face with other team members, share and learn the progress made so far, review/revise the policies and procedures of the Center, and chart the direction for the future of MD2K.
Specifically, we will look to:
» Discuss data analysis from the MD2K Field Studies (SC & CHF)
» Brainstorm ideas for future work moving forward
» Explore collaborative synergies within the BD2K consortium and industry
» Solidify the benchmarks that will be used to track progress throughout this final project and no cost extension period
The Annual meeting will have a similar format to previous years' meetings, including the MD2K business meeting, poster and demo session, but will include an off site, activity-driven, brainstorming session about future work in the CV & Chronic Pain/Opioid domains, and will be highlighted by a keynote address from pioneer biologist, Dr. Leroy Hood.
