Latest Update on our 2018 Forum

Picture
We are thrilled to report that our 2018 Forum in Washington, DC, was a fabulous success! Early career scientists from roughly 40 institutions across the U.S. and overseas received a full day of training on cutting-edge tools for crafting thought-provoking articles and winning grant applications. They had the opportunity to present their work as poster presentations in a 100% digital environment. And they learned about the future of child and adolescent mental health with addresses and breakout discussions from world-renowned leaders in the field. 

​Share Research, Learn, and Network

Learning how to do great science requires a toolbox of skills. Skills for effectively communicating science. To secure funding for scientific work. To identify where and when job opportunities arise. To get the offers to start your first job and build the record to keep that job. No one takes a class to acquire this toolbox, who has the time? Yet, we still need these tools, so where do we find them? We launched the Future Directions Forum to help you build your scientific toolbox. At the Forum, we dedicate a full day to offering professional development workshops, as well as small group and one-on-one expert consultations on all aspects of academic work. We webcast many of these events online so that those who cannot attend in-person can have access to this content from wherever they are.
