Moderator: Dr. Spies; Panel: Drs. Cressman, Davidson, Dean, Do, A. Kim and Salem
Join GEST in the advancement of IR research by presenting your research proposal to a panel of research experts. Whether your idea is basic science, translational research or a clinical trial, get free feedback from senior IRs. Is your project feasible? Are you measuring the right outcomes? What are the pitfalls in your approach? See if you are strong enough to survive the GEST panel of constructive but critical reviewers. You don’t need a completed proposal or protocol to participate. We will ask you to present a brief research plan, with primary aim(s), background to inform us why the study is important, study structure or approach, patient population if your idea is in clinical research, approximate timeline, and outcome measures. You can also bring questions you may have regarding the plan- whether that be related to study design, best outcome measure to use, or other study parameters. Each presenter will have 10 minutes to present and there will be 5 to 10 minutes discussion with the panel. Does your plan have what it takes to survive? Come find out at GEST! Email the proposed topic along with a short paragraph describing your plan to [email protected] by March 15, 2019. You will be notified if you will have the chance to present to our panel.
