The series is limited to small groups of nominated participants, but CLIC has created a space for the translational science community to follow along over the next six months. Apply to Host an Un-Meeting!CLIC is accepting applications from CTSA Program hubs interested in hosting an in-person or virtual Un-Meeting on a topic of their choice. The selected applicants will receive funds to support a one-day Un-Meeting in early 2022, along with planning guidance, high-level coordination, and materials from CLIC.
