Due to the rapidly evolving novel coronavirus (COVID-19) situation, and with the health and safety of our guests in mind, the Indiana Clinical and Translational Sciences Institute (CTSI) Retreat at Indiana University scheduled for April 23 has been canceled.
Organizers hope to bring the event back in 2021 with the same theme, “Addressing Mental Health in Indiana — From the lab bench to communities.”
