11th Annual NIDUS Delirium Bootcamp

UNC-Chapel Hill, North Carolina, USA

This National Institute of Aging-funded research training bootcamp (R13185760) is now in its 11th year. This year's theme is "Advancing Translational and Implementation Research in Delirium" and will be led by a faculty of more than 15 experienced delirium researchers, who collectively, have expertise in everything from animal models, biomarkers, epidemiology, clinical trials, implementation science, delirium assessment and statistical methods (and their application in the clinical settings where delirium is most frequently encountered). The bootcamp is all about junior researcher mentorship and engagement: program highlights include interactive didactic sessions on a broad range of topics, mock-NIH study sections, formal (and informal) networking and mentorship sessions….and some great Southern food! Note: International applications are encouraged. All mentee travel/hotel costs are covered by the program. While mentee research proposals must evaluate delirium as an outcome, this can be a secondary outcome; delirium does not necessarily have to be the sole focus of the project.
