Education at the CDR
We foster science education by integrating education and training with research. This component includes the promotion of health-related educational outreach initiatives, the promotion of science literacy, and a provision for creating and sustaining positive learning environments for inquisitive minds interested in the field of science. Additionally, our workforce development efforts are directed at training individuals for entry into the scientific work force as laboratory managers, research specialists or entry-level research technicians. Taken together our diverse training programs, independent studies offerings and fellowships provide direct, hands-on experiences for postdoctoral fellows, graduate students, and undergraduate students in both basic and translational research. We hope to attract more people into technical scientific careers and are committed to increasing the number of underrepresented minorities and women in the next generation of scientists.
