Message from CAPA President
Dear CAPA members,
The Chinese American Pathologists Association is now approved by the CSR, NIH as a scientific society to recommend vetted reviewers for grant review. You are cordially invited to consider the following information regarding serving as an NIH grant reviewer. Please provide your comments about your qualification if necessary.
The requirements of the CSR, NIH:
Please carefully vet all recommended reviewers. They should be scientists who are generally willing to serve as reviewers and are seen as experts, with integrity, in their field. They should have an active research program, extramural funding, and not currently be a standing member of an NIH study section or advisory council. We strongly encourage societies to recommend productive scientists from diverse backgrounds and career stages – e.g. assistant, associate, and full professors.

Announcement of CAPA Resident/Fellow Case Presentation Series
To promote the self-motivated learning and clinical investigation of residents and fellows, the CAPA Trainee Committee is planning to launch a case presentation virtual conference. The conference will use CAPA Online Education platform and open to public with no registration requirement. The meeting time will be either Saturday or Sunday 7:00 to 9:00 PM (depending on the availability of the Webinar schedule and the Organizing Committee Members) with 5-6 trainees each presenting one case in a session. The Organizing Committee Members will screen the submitted cases for presentation, and evaluate the presentation after the meeting. At the end of the case presentation series (approximately February 2021), the Organizing Committee will meet to rank the presentations and give awards to the high rank presentations (the total number of awards to be determined based on the number of trainees giving the presentation).
Instructions for submitting case(s) for presentation:
- The presenter must be a current trainee (resident or fellow) and a CAPA member.
- Each trainee is allowed to have only one presentation in this series (may reconsider at the end of 2020 if there are not enough qualified cases submitted).
- The case(s) must I) be original and have never been published or presented anywhere else; II) be from the institution(s) where the resident/fellow is/was in training; and III) have good educational value for practicing pathologists and pathology trainees.
- The trainees who submit the cases should take full responsibility in following the rules of their institutions on both the HIPAA compliance and clinical investigation/education guidelines.
- Trainees are encouraged to submit cases whenever they are ready (first come first served). However, two submission deadlines are set to facilitate conference scheduling: September 30th 2020 (for presentations in 2020) and January 4rd 2021 (for presentations in 2021). To submit case(s) for screening, write a summary of the case to be presented in no more than 250 words and email the summary to fengmingchen@gmail.com and jiangyichen@gmail.com
- One presentation is not necessarily limited to one case, as long as the case(s) fit into one topic; however, the maximum time for each presentation is 15 minutes.
Please forward this announcement to all the trainees of Chinese ethnicity. If the trainee is not a CAPA member yet, join CAPA before submitting case(s): https://www.capa-ht.org/join-us/registration/

Chair: Linsheng Zhang; Co-Chairs: Fengming Chen and Hong Jiang
Resident/Fellow Case Presentation Organizing Committee:
Zhenjian Cai, Chunhua Cui, Cathy Ma, Zenggang Pan, Zhiyong Ren, Deyin Xing, Linsheng Zhang, Fengming Chen, Hong Jiang
