Annual

Division Retreat

• To encourage division-wide dissemination of research goals and results, the Division holds an Annual Retreat at an off-site location, where Division members can enjoy a break from routine scheduling demands for a few days. The goals of the retreat are to promote cross-fertilization and communication among the various people in the division, with the hope that new ventures will arise; to provide constructive feedback on research directions and progress; and to provide a relaxed and informal environment where issues can be raised and discussed for further action.

The retreat has been held at locations such as the Chesapeake Beach Resort in Chesapeake Beach, MD., Berkeley Springs, WV, St. Michaels, MD, Gettysburg, PA, and in Harpers Ferry, WV, where the group enjoyed a white-water rafting trip. This year's retreat was held at the Bavarian Inn in Shepherdstown, WV. Once again, a record number of guests attended the retreat. Photos from the event can be see here.

ICMIC Retreat

• An annual retreat is sponsored by the In Vivo Cellular and Molecular Imaging Center (ICMIC), part of the Division of MR Research. This retreat provides a forum for the presentation and discussion of cutting-edge research in the ICMIC program and fosters multidisciplinary interaction between the members of ICMIC and SAIRP.

Monthly

A “state-of-the-division” meeting is held monthly, where all Division members are welcome. Long-term goals as well as budgetary concerns, progress and projections are outlined, as are day-to-day issues that affect research work, such as planned and projected scanners, service center operations, allocation of resources and general operations issues. These meetings are a highly effective way to keep everyone in the Division informed about all the aspects of the current status of the Division.
