ESI Workshop

On September 20th, 2018, we are holding a full day, intensive mentoring session in which ESIs learn how to access and design hypertension-related analyses using the Jackson Heart Study (JHS) data and write clear manuscript proposals. Senior JHS investigators will provide one-on-one feedback, and facilitate group discussions to enable ESIs to use and access the JHS. 

Participants in the ESI workshop will learn:

• The manuscript proposal process
• Data access
• BP-related research methods for the Jackson Heart Study

Applications for the ESI Workshop and Travel Award are due Friday, August 3^rd and awardees will be notified by August 10^th. The award covers actual travel costs up to $1,500.

Registration for the ESI workshop is capped to maximize interpersonal interaction and optimize didactic learning, interpersonal interaction, and the senior mentor-ESI dyad.

We look forward to hosting everyone again this year.
