TL1 Visiting Scientist
Overview
This Working Group's purpose is to establish a program that consists of virtual meetings between “visiting” TL1 Trainees and their peers, established investigators, and research leaders at other CTSA hubs and at the NCATS intramural research program. To accomplish this, this working group will provide three forums: Grand Rounds, Mini Symposia, and a Debate Forum. Grand Rounds will provide senior predoctoral students and postdoctoral fellows to present substantial data to a national audience. The Minisymposia will provide students and fellows at an earlier stage in their research to share findings in a shorter format than Grand Rounds. The Debate Forum offers an opportunity to practice presentation skills if students do not have sufficient data to present.
Dr. H. William Schnaper initiated the creation of this working group and program. Sadly, Dr. Schnaper passed away in 2020. In his honor and memory, the program is named after him as the "Schnaper Visiting Scientist (SVS) Program."

Group Goals
Develop a learner-oriented survey to solicit trainee interests and goals to facilitate topic/theme selection.
Develop an application process to match TL1 Trainees with CTSA hubs.
Define the core components for this SVS program with the different career stages of students and fellows in mind.
Identify the optimal communication platforms and procedures for the grand rounds, minisymposia, and debate forums.
Develop an evaluation process.
Identify metrics to capture the short- and long-term outcomes of the program.
Recruit Trainees to participate in the core components through the TL1 Directors, the TL1 Representatives and the whole TL1 Community, and host the described activities.
Publish a manuscript on the impact of the Schnaper Visiting Scientist program.
Develop a joint KL2/TL1 Minisymposium and a joint KL2/TL1 Debate Forum.
