RATIONALE
There is a notorious gap between research and its use in actual clinics. This gap is particularly salient for projects done by trainees, whose work gets overlooked by the clinical community. This workshop was geared towards improving the likelihood that the work of trainees immersed in neurocognitive research actually penetrates clinical audiences by incorporating translational, implementation, and dissemination-ready thinking into their work from the outset.
