2009 Combined Annual Meeting
Central Society for Clinical Research
Midwestern Section American Federation for Medical Research
Mid-America Club, Chicago, IL April 23-24, 2009

Jointly sponsored by CSCR, MWAFMR and Northwestern University’s Feinberg School of Medicine

The leadership of CSCR and MWAFMR are pleased to present the 2009 Combined Annual Meeting. The Combined Annual Meeting has a rich history and always strives to provide a forum for young investigators at the fellow and associate/assistant professor level. This is also one of the few multi-specialty meetings with a broad focus where the attendees can learn about research techniques used in other specialties of medicine and apply those techniques to their own research.

Some highlights of the meeting include Department Chair Sessions, the Oral Abstract Session, the CSCR Hickam Lecture and the MWAFMR Keynote Speaker. New for 2009 - CSCR and MWAFMR will offer digital posters to those selected for the Moderated Poster Presentations during the Welcome Reception Poster Session on the evening of April 23rd and the Luncheon Poster Session on the afternoon of April 24th. During each of the poster sessions, Moderated Poster Presentations will be held for the top submissions in various subspecialties of medicine. Some of our expert reviewers for the Moderated Poster Presentations include James Cook, Greg Vercellotti, Neal Weintraub, David Kamp, and Terrence Barrett.

To assist young investigators who wish to attend the meeting and present their research to leaders in their fields, the following grants and awards are being offered: 30 grants in the amount of $1,000 each will be made available to K08, K23 and K30 Awardees. The Outstanding Young Investigator Award, Cardiovascular Award and Trainee Travel Awards will be offered. The MWAFMR/Centocor Scholar's Program is available by merit-based invitation.
