Trainees, postdoctoral students and faculty interact regularly face-to-face with one another to provide methodologic expertise for studies and help when a study is being designed or carried out.\u00a0Visiting speakers also participate in <em>ACCELERATOR <\/em>meetings, providing insights into emerging research fields that can be applicable to rheumatic disease research and fostering new interdisciplinary collaborative opportunities. Beginning in 2019 we have opened the docket of the\u00a0<em>ACCELERATOR <\/em>meeting once monthly to presentations from members of our research community who are not part of the core group of investigators.<\/p>\n<p><em>ACCELERATOR <\/em>attendees consist of faculty (physicians, statisticians, and epidemiologists), rheumatology fellows, post-docs, project managers, data analysts, and graduate students. The meeting starts at 9:30 and lasts about 2 hours depending on the number of presentations.<\/p>\n<p>During the meeting, we often review research proposals, abstracts and manuscripts, and discuss new research ideas. We also invite outside speakers to give talks on their research.<\/p>\n<p>Presenters often talk about their research for about one hour in a very informal setting. If possible, participants will send copies of their presentation for distribution to attendees. Questions may be asked during the talk or when the presentation is complete.<\/p>\n<p><em>ACCELERATOR <\/em>meetings take place every Tuesday from 9:30 to 11:30 am in X231.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Research ACCELERATOR Calendar The Research ACCELERATOR is part of the the Boston Musculoskeletal Clinical Research Collaboratory (Boston MCRC), supported by a National Institutes of Health Core Center for Clinical Research grant (P30 AR072571).
