• Dual Mentorship - trainees will be matched with dual mentors from two participating disciplines, at least one of whom will be a member of the 25 program faculty.
• Special Events - regular events to promote student-student and student-faculty interactions.
• Student Research Symposium.
• Seminars - on interdisciplinary research topics, proposal preparation, research ethics, and careers.
