Initiatives

• Downstate Trainee Research Slam

• DHSU Research Symposium Program

The Office of the SVPR aims to advance research and discovery efforts across the DHSU community by promoting and enhancing collaborations among investigators. Through the support of Research Symposia, the Office of the SVPR aims to: 1) better inform the DHSU community (both faculty and trainees) about the diverse ongoing research efforts on campus; 2) kindle new and expanded research collaborations by facilitating face-to-face interactions; 3) identify tangible next steps towards building integrated research programs; and 4) help faculty prepare to respond to future collaborative extramural research grants. Creating synergies among DHSU investigators could also help individual projects expand into larger programs with increased impact and visibility.

Please find details here along with the agenda template.
