Training in the Responsible Conduct of Research: All NIH-funded researchers must receive formal training in the responsible conduct of research. Stanford provides NIH-approved training on this subject with the MED255 Bioethics course. As an NIH-funded scientist, you must have completed MED255 or an equivalent course within any four-year period or when you enter a new career stage, whichever is the most recent. If you have not yet received training in the responsible conduct of research, please enroll in MED255 within the first six months of joining the training program. If you have already received this training, please provide us with information about the training including the date of completion.
Curriculum: CHIP T32 trainees are expected to attend a combination of quantitative and biological training that aggregates to approximately one-two hours per week for 30 weeks of the year (30-60 hours annually.) This could include attending weekly seminar events or auditing a course that complements their research as determined by their mentorship committee. Ideally, CHIP T32 trainees will structure their learning to include 50% quantitative and 50% biological topics.
For a list of potential seminars and courses, please refer to the following CHIP T32 Curriculum Document.
Grant Writing Course: Complete a Tackling your K, or equivalent, Grant Writing Course. CVI hosts several grant writing workshops every year, and also provides numerous resources on research development.
Regular meetings with your mentor to discuss the progress of your research and career development. We recommend meeting weekly during the first year and every two weeks during the second year.
Selection of a co-mentor: If you do not already have a co-mentor, a second mentor is required and greatly benefits career development and research. You should work with your mentor and/or the T32 directors to identify and reach out to a suitable co-mentor PI within the first three months of joining the program. We recommend meeting with your co-mentor ideally monthly, or at a minimum, quarterly. Once your co-mentor is determined and confirmed let us know.
Quarterly Director Lunches: These lunches allow the program Directors to stay up to date on your progress and advise you on your research and career development. Attendance and participation at relevant events, conferences, and lectures. You will consult with your research mentors and the program director's regarding your individual curriculum.
Join CVI: Register as a CVI member to connect with other members of the cardiovascular community.
Individual Development Plan (IDP): Complete an individual development plan (IDP) and review it with your mentor annually, as mandated by the Office of Postdoctoral Affairs.
Present at on your work at an annual Internal Review of the T32 program and its trainees. This is a half-day meeting held in January or February conjointly with postdoctoral T32 and R38 trainees in other related cardiovascular training programs.
Prepare an annual research update for mentors and other committee members.
