How does it work?
NPP GOAL: To brainstorm research ideas early in the conceptual phase; to hone study aims; to consider preliminary data that is in hand or may be needed for a competitive grant proposal.
NPP APPROACH: A standing panel of investigators representing broad, transdisciplinary expertise in study design, analytic methodology, ethics, health disparities, outcomes, regulatory knowledge, participant & clinical interactions. The Panel can be tailored by invitation of additional panelists with specific expertise, as needed.
NPP FORMAT: The standing panel assembles on the 4th Wednesday of every month to discuss up to two (2) research projects. The panel begins with a brief scientific presentation by the PI followed by open discussion (45 minutes total).
