CTSA WSVS mini-symposium, hosted by the Georgetown-Howard Universities Center for Clinical and Translational Science (GHUCCTS) and co-sponsored by Coordination, Communication, and Operations Support (CCOS). The theme for this symposium is "Breaking Bottlenecks: Innovative Strategies in Clinical Translational Science". This will be held over Zoom on Wednesday, December 10th from 12pm - 2pm EST. Selected participants will present for 10 minutes and participate in a Q&A and panel discussion led by T trainees/fellows from GHUCCTS.
