Eligibility<\/strong>: Open to Vanderbilt biomedical sciences and chemistry postdoctoral fellows and PhD students who have passed their qualifying exams before February 2026.<\/h3>\n
Participation Expectations
<\/strong>This self-paced module is designed to fit alongside the busy schedules of PhD students and postdocs while still providing a structured, goal-oriented learning experience. Participation is largely self-directed after an initial in-person welcome session (refreshments provided) held synchronously with the course instructor. Additionally there will be an interactive, live virtual session about mid-way through the course, and participants are expected to complete the first five course modules prior to this time. Applicants are expected to enroll with the intention of completing all module components and the final exam required to earn the certificate. We encourage you to apply if you are ready to set aside ~1-2 hours\/week to engage with the material and see the program through to completion.<\/h3>\nModule information:<\/h2>\n
