About the Visiting Scholar Program

The Clinical and Translational Science Award (CTSA) Visiting Scholar Program is a national NIH program that provides K12/KL2 scholars (Mentored Career Development Awardees) an opportunity to present their work. The program facilitates meetings between scholars, scientific experts engaged in clinical and translational science, and experts in the scholars’ research fields. The goal is to expand networks and foster exchange of ideas, highlighting the importance of clinical and translational science.

This lecture is co-sponsored by the Miami Clinical and Translational Science Institute (CTSI) and the Center for HIV and Research in Mental Health (CHARM) and is part of CHARM’s Mental Health Disparities & Community Engagement Core Speaker Series.
