Who should participate?

Research trainees and early career researchers (ECR) from a wide range of professional and research backgrounds.
 

How does it work?

Simulation is a form of experiential learning. DiSIMinate2build (D2B) provides experiential learning opportunities for research trainees and ECRs to build scholarship capacity in the field of simulation. D2B provides such opportunities in the form of virtual meeting hosted on Cureus JMS: Annals of Simulation and subsequent curated critique and workshops leading to submission of papers on Cureus channel.

We accept completed projects and work in progress that fall within two categories: research and innovation.

Virtual Meeting

The meeting runs all year and provides a peer-reviewed, asynchronous platform for feedback on and sharing of each other's research. Participant can share their work and benefit from the online mentorship and collaborations. This format builds capable researchers and provide an opportunity for them to engage in research networks.

Register and submit your abstract for D2B 2021

Workshops

Quarterly workshops are designed specifically to build on posters accepted to the virtual meeting to develop them to full papers.

Cureus Papers

These include position papers, technical reports describing both novel technology and pedagogy of simulation, reviews, and original research. We encourage direct submissions, as well as submissions that were already presented and received feedback as part of our Virtual Meeting. The publication is not guaranteed, as our journal is peer reviewed and acceptance of papers will depend on an independent scientific review. The peer-review process ensures rigorous PubMed indexing whose open access publishing format ensures widespread knowledge dissemination and reach.
