This report is based on the Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology’s symposium, “Engaging basic
Scientists in Translational Research: Identifying Opportunities, Overcoming Obstacles,” held in Chevy Chase, MD,
March 24–25, 2011. Meeting participants examined the benefits of engaging basic scientists in translational
research, the challenges to their participation in translational research, and the roles that research institutions,
funding organizations, professional societies, and scientific publishers can play to address these challenges.
