<\/a><\/span><\/div>CDTRP 2024 Research Connect Series<\/strong><\/h4>\nThe CDTRP Research Connect series is taking place every other Tuesday at 3 pm ET<\/strong>. Don\u2019t forget to mark your calendars for this engaging series!<\/p>\nThis series streamlines the subset of Theme, Hub, and Working Group meetings that aimed to share and discuss the latest research findings across the network and our Webinar series, which featured national and international speakers. Theme, Hub, and Working Group meetings aimed at developing new initiatives, projects, or grants will be scheduled separately, approximately three times per year per group. Our goal is to make it easy for our members to know about and attend high quality presentations across all Themes and topics of interest. We are aiming for active discussions including researchers, trainees, and patient, family, and donor partners, engaging the whole community as if we were having a family dinner rather than listening to a formal presentation.<\/p>\n<\/div>

Sharing immunology research findings with the transplant community can be difficult. However, lay summaries are valuable for presenting one\u2019s research clearly and understandably. Writing in clear and understandable language will help your research reach a wider audience, including the public, non-academic partners, and potential funders. CDTRP is hosting a three-part series, \u201cCross-talking: Disseminating and co-creating research in transplantation.” This series is open to trainees and PFDs.<\/p>\n
Why participate?<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n- Learn about basic immunology and how to write lay summaries<\/li>\n
- Building connections between trainees and PFDs<\/li>\n
- Published abstracts on our CDTRP Newsletters<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
