Shaping the Future of the ABCD Study: A Roundtable Discussion

Brisbane Convention & Exhibition Centre 

Presenters will serve as panelists for a roundtable discussion, and thus will not be giving an individual lecture. Dr. Priscila Dib Goncalves is an Assistant Professor at Columbia University, where she holds a career development “K” award from the National Institutes of Health in the US, using ABCD Study data. Dr. Goncalves began using the ABCD Study data as a trainee in the Scientific Training in Addiction Research Techniques (START) scholar program, which helps propel the careers of talented trainees from historically underrepresented and underserved backgrounds, and prepares trainees to access, analyze and disseminate data from the ABCD Study. Dr. Goncalves will provide an important early-career perspective on using ABCD Study data to launch an independent research career and how the next phase of ABCD can continue to improve upon the career development of trainees across disciplines and backgrounds.
