Training and Dissemination

TRAINING and DISSEMINATION SUMMARY The investigators of this National Center for Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering (NCBIB) are dedicated to providing training in the biomarker tools that will be developed based on novel advanced brain imaging and spectroscopy acquisition and analysis techniques. This includes training of external collaborators through conferences, workshops, tutorials, and local lectures and training of internal collaborators, postdoctoral fellows and students on site. We will also have training at the resource for lab members of external collaborators or users as well as training of external collaborators through site visits. In addition, we will provide training through web (e.g. zoom) and email communications and on-line tutorials. We are also committed to the prompt and widespread dissemination of research results and technological advances. Dissemination involves (A) publication of peer-reviewed papers in scientific journals, books, book chapters, and special issues of journals; (B) Lectures at local, national and international conferences, workshops, and seminars and organizing such meetings; (C) maintaining a Resource website; (D) distributing acquisition and analysis tools and software to universities and hospitals; (E) transferring technologies to industry For this new NCBIB we intend to continue our successful training and dissemination practices built up over the 20 years from our previous P41 and expand upon them using newly available technologies such as web-based meetings.
