The JHU OAIC collaboration initiative, known as the , consists primarily of monthly research-in-progress sessions that allow for OAIC-supported investigator interaction and discourse, along with progress updates and access to mentors and methodological experts. The program’s research-in-progress centerpiece is bolstered by an online collaboration tool, an ongoing seminar series, grant review sessions, and research facilitation by the center administrator on this effort. The main goal of the Pepper Scholars Program is to positively affect collaborative behaviors and investigator productivity through interactive sessions and other mechanisms of interaction and support. This program was developed during fall 2009 by Drs. Bandeen-Roche, Gerstenblith and Walston, and the center administrator, Brian Buta; the first session was held in February 2010.
Meetings normally occur on first Wednesday of each month from 12:00-1:15pm in the large conference room of the Center on Aging and Health (2024 E. Monument St, Suite 2-700). Each session includes brief progress updates, and a 30-40 minute presentation by an OAIC-supported investigator, followed by discussion. Lunch is provided. - October 12, 2011. Dr. George Wang
