7 TH ANNUAL Translational and Clinical Research Course for Clinician-Scientists July 19 21, 2015 Mt. Washington Conference Center, Baltimore, MD Course Description The course is designed to further the development of young neuroscientists interested in or engaged in translational or clinical research. Compared to fields like oncology, cardiology, and diabetes and metabolism, the clinical neurosciences currently lack well-established pathways for providing this kind of training for fellows and junior faculty. This three-day course will engage selected research fellows, residents, and junior faculty in an analysis of the development of therapies for neurological diseases. The purpose of this course is to encourage trainees and junior faculty to pursue careers in neurology, in particular academic neurology. Throughout the course, strategies for career development will be interwoven with the didactic material. The sequence of topics will work forward from the early stages of development, including initial screening and efficacy testing in model systems, to the evolution of therapeutic hypotheses, through early-, middle-, and late-stage clinical trials, and the post-marketing assessment of therapies testing. Lectures, group discussions, and case examples will be used as learning strategies. Each day will include time for networking with other participants and speakers. Small group discussions will allow participants to further explore specific areas of interest. 2015 Translational and Clinical Research Course Committee Craig Blackstone, M.D., Ph.D., Chair, National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), National Institutes of Health (NIH), Bethesda, MD Jacqueline French, M.D. New York University, New York, NY Karl Kieburtz, M.D., M.P.H.
