The 3rd Annual FunGen-AD Program Meeting will feature a one-day xQTL Project Workshop and a two-day gathering of FunGen-AD Principal Investigators (PIs), Multiple PIs (MPIs), and their team members. These in-person meetings will take place at Columbia University, New York, NY.

Registration is required for anyone who plans to attend in person or virtually.

The FunGen-AD xQTL Workshop will focus on the xQTL manuscript updates, xQTL methods development, and community project updates.

Members of the xQTL Project working group should plan to attend in person, if possible; other FunGen-AD investigators are welcome to join in person or virtually.

The FunGen-AD Program Meeting offers opportunities for FunGen-AD investigators to showcase project progress and highlight collaborations that leverage combined project resources to support synergistic progress. This meeting provides a forum for the FunGen-AD external advisory board (EAB) and NIA program staff to review the consortium’s progress and provide recommendations on future directions for FunGen-AD and individual projects.

FunGen-AD PIs/MPIs should plan to attend in person, if possible; other FunGen-AD investigators and trainees are welcome to join in person or virtually. Other members of the ADSP are welcome to join virtually.

Discussion sessions are reserved for EAB members, presenters, PIs/MPIs, and NIA leadership/program staff. Questions and responses from EAB, PIs/MPIs, and NIA are prioritized. When time allows, moderators will call on in-person participants and read chat questions and comments posted by virtual participants.

A poster session is planned for April 30. FunGen-AD investigators and team members, particularly students and junior faculty members, who are interested in presenting a poster should notify Kara Hannah (Kara.Hannah@luminacorps.com) by April 6, 2024.
