Meeting Summary

Background

More than 300 researchers have participated in NMRI workshops in the past decade, and approximately 100 are active members. The success of the NMRI, a network that is “owned” by its members and supported by the NIDDK, begins with the dedication of senior investigators who mentor and serve as role models for junior investigators. The participation of active members and the recruitment of new members is a primary reason for the Network’s success in the past and the reason for confidence that it will continue to grow in the future.

Celebrating NMRI's 15th Anniversary. Share your story in the Special 15th Anniversary Newsletter

As we prepare to celebrate the 15th anniversary of NMRI on April 26-28, 2017, we invite you to submit a brief summary outlining the impact of the network on your career. Please also share whether your expectations of the network were met, and any experience that may serve as an inspiration to the general membership. Summaries will be published in a special 15th anniversary newsletter, and two from both senior and junior members will be selected for presentation on Thursday, April 27, 2016 at 10:45 a.m. – 11:45 a.m. We anticipate your participation and are anxious to hear your stories. Include your name, title and institution on the summary page and limit summary to 2000 words. Please send summary to Winnie Martinez at Winnie.Martinez@mail.nih.gov by April 7.
