You are invited to attend the fourth annual NIH Director’s Pioneer Award Symposium on September 22-23, 2008. The event will feature a keynote address by NIH Director Dr. Elias A. Zerhouni plus research talks by the 2007 Pioneer Award recipients (http://nihroadmap.nih.gov/pioneer/Recipients07.aspx), poster sessions by Pioneer and New Innovator Award recipients and members of their labs, roundtable discussions on highly innovative research, and announcement of the 2008 Pioneer awardees.
The NIH Director’s Pioneer and New Innovator Award programs–key components of the NIH Roadmap for Medical Research–support exceptionally creative scientists who take highly innovative, and potentially transformative, approaches to major challenges in biomedical or behavioral research.
The symposium, in the Natcher Conference Center (Building 45) on the NIH campus, begins at 8:30 a.m. each day. An agenda is posted at http://nihroadmap.nih.gov/pioneer/symposium2008.
