Dr. Patricia Martinez Quinones
2024 EAST INVEST-C Program Participant
Testimonial
Participating in the EAST INVEST-C Research Hackathon was an invaluable experience that helped refine my research ideas and strengthen my approach to grant writing. The opportunity to receive direct feedback from experienced investigators and funded surgeon-scientists was instrumental in shaping my proposal. What stood out the most was how deeply the mentors—our 'hackers'—truly cared about our success, providing thoughtful guidance and demonstrating a genuine investment in helping us secure funding. Engaging in this immersive, collaborative environment provided me with new perspectives, practical strategies, and the confidence to pursue funding opportunities.
This program is an essential resource for early-career surgeon-scientists looking to advance their research careers.
