The CTRD pre-doctoral curriculum is designed to promote interdisciplinary knowledge and the acquisition of new research skills. It will ensure that students conduct their research ethically and that they meet requirements for the Ph.D. degree in their respective departments and program.
Information is organized according to:
CTRD trainees are often selected after they finish their coursework. We have fewer fellowships than interested students and consequently these curricular guidelines will sometimes be followed by students prior to their selection for fellowship support.
The reasoning here is that for students whose interests match those of the training faculty, the curriculum is its own reward. By interacting with one another and the faculty, trainees and potential trainees will learn concepts and techniques that will enable them to conduct outstanding research bearing on Common Themes in Reproductive Diversity.
In addition to predoctoral training, CTRD trainees participate in monthly Research Breakfast Forums, a seminar series and other informal forums, and postdoctoral training.
