“Seeds for Collaboration” is a faculty mixer held during the academic year. The goal is to stimulate discourse that will result in inter-institutional collaborations, discoveries, publications and grant applications. At each event faculty mingle for half an hour and then three 5 minutes talks are presented, followed by discussion. All faculty are invited by email and announcements are posted on the academic calendar, and on posters and in the elevators. “Seeds” provides basic science, translational, and clinical faculty alike an opportunity to share their research interests and directions and to attract collaborators in an informal, social environment.
