Description: CURE Mentor Training Series - Spring 2022
Summer is nearly upon us and it's time to start developing short-term research projects for summer trainees. In this session we will reflect on what makes a good short-term research project and how we can begin designing one.
By the end of the session participants will be able to:
- Identify the characteristics of an effective and realistic short-term research project
- Reflect on tools to scaffold short-term research8 project design
- Engage with other mentors as they share their experiences with short-term research projects
Please note: the Mentor Training Series workshops are highly interactive and engaging. Please be prepared to participate in the discussions and turn your cameras on when possible
