In this week’s COVID-19 Grand Rounds session, Dr. Danny Benjamin of Duke University will present “Back to School, It’s More Than Just a Trip to Target This Year: The ABC Science Collaborative.” The Grand Rounds session will be held on Friday, October 16, at 1:00 pm eastern. Join the online meeting.

The ABC Science Collaborative is a program of the Duke University School of Medicine and the University of North Carolina School of Medicine that “pairs scientists and physicians with school and community leaders to help them understand the most current and relevant data about COVID-19 so they may make decisions that will keep teachers, staff, and children safe if and when they return to the classroom.”

The NIH Collaboratory Coordinating Center is using its popular Grand Rounds platform to share late-breaking research and promote resources in support of clinical researchers affected by the COVID-19 public health emergency.
