Stakeholders in Translational Research (STAR) Ambassadors Program

Overview

The mission of the Stakeholder in Translational Research (STAR) Ambassadors Program is two-fold: 1) promote bi-directional research, and 2) improve the community responsiveness of translational research through the authentic engagement of our local and regional communities in its design.
