The Academy
Trainees within the Center for Cardiometabolic Science take advantage of a developmental program named The Academy, which is a separate focus group in which CCS faculty convene with the Center’s PhD students and fellows to develop their professional skills. Mainstays of The Academy include:
- Grant review and manuscript review
- Mock study section events that provide trainees with the opportunity to understand how grants are reviewed
- Philosophical topics such as logic and weighing evidence
- Practical topics including budgeting, personnel management, and professional communications
Trainee accomplishments include the acquisition of fellowships, peer-reviewed publications and presentations at scientific meetings.
