Making Virtual More Human

Despite the unforeseen circumstances of COVID-19, we shifted our first summer workshop online. With thoughtful collaboration, we made it a priority to deliver a great & unique experience.

Better Research, Better Solutions

We’ve designed the curriculum to effectively portray the journey from research design and data collection to  grant writing and manuscript publication. Over 50 hours of self-paced lecture materials and 4 weeks of live sessions with over 35 established faculty.

Guidance to Innovate & Thrive

We made every effort to put mentorship at the forefront of our mission. Breaking silos by providing the infrastructure needed to curate independence, diminish challenges & establish partnerships globally.
