Objective:
The goal of this conference is to convene the Salmonella GCS team, stakeholders, and collaborators in person for the first time to enhance planning and integration of our research. Our specific objectives are as follows:
(1) Facilitate the Salmonella GCS team to meet in person for the first time. The opportunity to convene in person is critical to relationship building and collaboration among the team of researchers.
(2) Update stakeholders and collaborators on research progress. Our GCS involves numerous collaborators and stakeholders (companies, associations, universities, USDA-ERS, and an Industry Advisory Board). We will use this opportunity to present our first year of progress to stakeholders and collaborators.
(3) Fine-tune research plans, collaborations, and next steps for the GCS. We will hold a series of brainstorming sessions to engage the GCS team, our stakeholders, and collaborators on feedback and participation for research, pilot projects, and GCS goals and timelines.
Approach:
We will engage a meeting organizer to help us create a series of goal-oriented sessions including networking (1), research presentations (2), and brainstorming (3). We will host the meeting in the Washington, DC area.
