THAW is a two-day workshop hosted by the Office of Research and Partnerships in order to define the University’s aligned goals in transdisciplinary applied health, identify intersected approaches and expertise, to analyze the University’s strengths, weaknesses, and opportunities in this research area, and pinpoint funding opportunities to leverage existing expertise, resources, and partnership opportunities.
Invited speakers from the National Institute of General Medical Sciences in the National Institutes of Health provide a comprehensive explanation of the relevant funding options in the area. The healthcare industry panel led by Willis-Knighton: Graduate Medical Education in Shreveport, focused on the partnership opportunities that are available beyond Tech’s campus with external stakeholders.
Below is the agenda for the most recent workshop session.
