RTRN Research Coordinating Center (RCC) hosts

Obesity Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) Webinar

RTRN has selected Obesity/Metabolic Syndrome as the topic for a Network Wide Health Initiative. The goal of this webinar is to unite RCMI expertise in a collaborative team effort to develop and submit an Obesity related proposal and to ensure successful implementation of the protocol if funded. Obesity lends itself to exploration from many facets including Cancer, Inflammation, Diabetes, and Cardiovascular disease, and allows for significant engagement of the diverse communities.
