Travel funds are available for conferences and includes registration fees, transportation expenses, lodging, and food. Due to the expense of major conferences, trainees are usually limited to one of these events per year. Trainees should keep all receipts for any reimbursement that may occur. Contact David Williams for travel funds. The training grant does not require trainees to perform teaching assistant duties, therefore, allowing the trainee to focus on their own course work and research.
Trainees usually rotate through different labs during their first year.
Rotations can be taken for credit. During the fall quarter, the trainee is required to submit a progress report to the training grant director, David Williams. The format and content of this report will be provided in a memo a few weeks prior to the end of the quarter. Trainees must select a training grant faculty member for their advisor by the end of their first year. Trainees must sign up for a minimum of 12 credit hours of classes fall, winter, and spring quarters.
