Meetings
The iNSPIRe Initiative meets virutally every 2nd and 4th Tuesday of the month. These
meetings serve as unique opportunities to: observe and participate in the inception
of potentially high impact research questions, and learn from behind-the-scenes discussions
informing the development and execution of a study. Join us, also, to hear from nationally
renowned investigators about important unanswered clinical questions and cutting edge
epidemiological/biostatistical methodology.
