Researchers Forum
Dear DoM Faculty Researchers:
As follow up to the initial meeting related to developing a DoM Researchers Forum to facilitate collaboration, communication and a sense of community among scientists, we offer our assistance in establishing the leadership and organizing group. We envision a small organizing committee of 4-8 members representative of basic and clinical scientists, including two leaders that could rotate periodically (to be determined) among the members.
The first in-person meeting of the planning committee, held on Tues, October 18 at 1pm, will be followed by a virtual meeting on Thurs, December 8 at 3pm. All are welcome to participate. Please watch for upcoming announcements that will include the Zoom link.

Welcome Note and Agenda
Please join us for the DOM Researchers Forum!
Global Mission Statement Ideas: Create a dynamic space for research facilitation, knowledge exchange, wall-breaking, and to connect with and build our community. A forum to create change.
Priorities: In-person meetings when possible, expand researchers’ voice, build community not complaints.
Agenda:
- Collaboration, catalyzing new ideas
- Foster interactions with centers, groups, innovative programs
- Reorganizing, how link methods orphans across divisions
- Community engagement for translational research
- Building community
- Infrastructure needs (examples)
- Post award support

- Library access
- Technology and biosafety improvements
Questions to consider for discussion:
- What’s missing?
- How do we make things better?
- How do we bring people to the table?
- How do we prioritize or champion particular ideas?
- What is the extent of funding and how is it utilized?
Best,
Karen, Allan and George
