Dear NIH Community,

The 2019 Research Festival will be held all day, one day, on Wedensday, September 11. Our format is a little different this year compared to years past. There will be three plenary session, one "lightning round" of 24 three-minute talks, and one midday poster session featuring posters from selected FARE award winners and tenure-track investigators. As such, we will not have a call for abstracts this year.

Our desire is to have a day that highlights a broad range of intramural research that attracts the entire NIH community.

Our tentative schedule is posted at https://researchfestival.nih.gov/sites/default/files/uploads/2015/2019_n.... We will be updating this site through July and August.
