Investigators will have time to share their work, followed by a devoted discussion segment from the workshop participants, who will have also reviewed the presenter\u2019s materials in advance. Meetings are conducted in a hybrid format to allow for in-person and remote participation. In bringing together researchers to provide formative, constructive feedback on AD\/ADRD research, the seminar series seeks to advance interdisciplinary research agendas that meet the challenges identified in BU-SHARP\u2019s overarching research themes.<\/p>\n<hr style=\"align: center; width: 150px; margin-top: 35px;\" \/>\n<h2>External Participants<\/h2>\n<p>The audience for the Research Accelerator Meetings includes investigators studying (or interested in studying) AD\/ADRD affiliated with BU-SHARP, partners at Boston University, or who are external researchers based in the United States interested in participating in the meetings and getting involved with BU-SHARP. At least 2 times a year, the series invites a researcher from outside of the BU-SHARP network to present to help grow the network and expose investigators to new topics and methods.<\/p>\n<hr style=\"align: center; width: 150px; margin-top: 35px;\" \/>\n<h2>Upcoming Meetings<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/busharp\/files\/2026\/09\/Screenshot-2026-09-29-135408-492x636.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"492\" height=\"636\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-448\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.bu.edu\/busharp\/files\/2026\/09\/Screenshot-2026-09-29-135408-492x636.png 492w, https:\/\/sites.bu.edu\/busharp\/files\/2026\/09\/Screenshot-2026-09-29-135408.png 609w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 492px) 100vw, 492px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>About BU-SHARP Research Accelerator Meetings are 60-minute monthly meetings that provide BU-SHARP community members (including Emerging Scholars Pilot Grant recipients) the opportunity to offer and receive constructive feedback on grant proposals, conference submissions, papers, and dissemination products from AD\/ADRD research across the disciplines of demography, epidemiology, economics, and related fields.
