Training accelerates research translation by equipping UMass Amherst researchers to acquire knowledge, skills, and experiences that are essential ingredients for research translation beyond the laboratory and beyond the campus.
Career Explorations for Graduate Students and Postdoctoral Fellows
A graduate degree opens an enormous range of career opportunities. This initiative supports opportunities to explore a broad range of career options that involve the transfer of research, scholarly and creative efforts to address real-world unmet needs and create societal impact.
Soft Skills for Hard Challenges
To advance discoveries, ideas and technologies beyond the campus faculty, graduate students, and postdoctoral researchers need skills and knowledge beyond their disciplines. Our initiative supports experiential training for researchers on topics such as securing support from unfamiliar sources, teaming up with individuals from multiple disciplines, and understanding stakeholders.
