Students should use the opportunity of the rotation to identify a research project with the mentor that falls within the theme and scope of the training grant and to identify an appropriate co-mentor who is also on the training program, see Faculty page.

Please note that students are encouraged to sign up for academic credit for their rotation using the course number for research rotations provided by their degree program; however, this is not a specialization or training grant requirement. If dual-mentored students have the opportunity to sign up for rotation credits with both co-mentors that is also highly encouraged but, again, not required.
