International Collaborations to Enhance the Science of CAM:
Past, Present, and Future
Tuesday, May 12, 2009, 8:00 AM - 5:30 PM
Minneapolis
Hilton, Minneapolis MN
This one-day symposium highlights international collaborations, and unique basic
science approaches being developed on other continents. This symposium will
supplement the NARCCIM conference, and will include 9 plenary sessions, and
interactive roundtables at the end of the day. The morning plenary focuses on
the types of multidisciplinary cross-national research studies that are made
strong by patterns of diversity that do not exist within individual countries,
and will focus on the collaborative process as well as on design issues and
results. The early afternoon plenary will highlight novel biomarkers and
mechanisms of action of CAM therapies emerging from research in locales other
than North America, and will offer the potential for building new collaborations and
developing new research directions.
Finally, the late afternoon interactive
session will have the conference presenters, their research team members, and
conference attendees join into special interest groups to identify critical
next steps in particular research areas (synthesis papers, synthetic workshops,
and collaborative research projects), prepare brief outlines of those consensus
concepts, and present the best back to the group. This activity is designed to
enhance the likelihood of new collaborations and research directions resulting
from the symposium.
Non-member - $140 (includes a 1-year
membership in ISCMR)
Member - $70
Student/Low Income - $50
Go to the ISCMR website, www.iscmr.org, for the full program.
We
look forward to seeing you there and building new collaborations!
