Hosted by Dr. Reza Shaker, MD, Senior Associate Dean and Director of the Clinical & Translational Science Institute of Southeast Wisconsin, the evening opened with remarks from Joseph E.

Special guests, Theodore Kotchen, MD, and Allison Hyngstrom, PT, PhD (a former Pilot and KL2 awardee) shared words of inspiration for the new research award recipients and the important work ahead of them.
Thirteen Pilot projects were awarded at this year’s event. The Pilot Award promotes inter- and trans-disciplinary research team work within and among CTSI partner institutions.
