The mission of the CCTS Training Interdisciplinary & Emerging Research Scholars (TIERS) program is to provide beneficial information on career planning and development in a relaxed environment structured to promote collaborative learning, networking, and problem-solving. Topics match the NIH grant cycle to focus discussion on shared writing challenges.
This year, the TIERS program is introducing a specialized focus for our monthly workshops, categorizing them into three key themes: Career Development, Excellence in Grantsmanship, and Clinical & Translational Science.
TIERS occurs via Zoom on the second Friday of each month at noon.
