Each year, the Comparative Medicine Institute holds the Think, Collaborate & Do ideation event. This event invites faculty, graduate students and postdocs from all departments and colleges who have an interest in human and animal health to display research summary posters and make connections with potential collaborators they otherwise wouldn’t have met. They then form groups to develop big, bold, new ideas in CMI's areas of focus that become research proposals for the Ideation Awards. This is a joint event with CMI's Research, Education & Innovation Summit.
