The RTI Fellow Program sponsors a small group of distinguished scientists whose research interests span broad areas of health, medicine, and social policy, basic science and engineering, environmental and industrial sciences, and international health and development. The Program was established to support RTI's mission to improve the human condition and our Fellows provide scientific and technical leadership.
The fourth RTI Fellow Program Symposium will be held November 2-3, 2009. The theme of this year's symposium is Integrating Basic and Applied Research. Through plenary and targeted sessions at this two-day event, invited guest and RTI speakers will explore the potential for transdiciplinary research in a number of contemporary research areas and foster collaboration among RTI, area universities, and the broader research community in basic and social sciences.
