Program<\/h2>\n

The T32 Doctoral Training Program aims to educate, support, and enhance the training of individuals dedicated to careers as independent clinical translational and basic scientists in the field of regenerative engineering. The program offers inter-disciplinary research training at the University of Connecticut combining the fields of biomedical science and engineering.\u00a0 Trainees will become experts in regenerative engineering and its foundations to work towards the alleviation of human disease and musculoskeletal injuries by means of tissue regeneration.<\/p>\n

Program Structure<\/h2>\n

Each cohort is offered inter-disciplinary research training at the University of Connecticut (UConn) combining the fields of biomedical science and engineering. Regular research seminars, conference presentations and courses are conducted.<\/p>\n

Trainee Support<\/h2>\n

Trainees receive an annual stipend from NIH as well as a supplemental Graduate Assistantship stipend. Medical and Dental coverage plans may also be purchased. Funds are also available to cover childcare, laboratory supplies, and the cost of registration and travel to scientific meetings.<\/p>\n

Mentoring<\/h2>\n

Each Trainee selects a lab preceptor and together prepare an Individualized Development Plan (IDP) to identify strength, weakness, set long-term and short-term training goals, and explore science career opportunities.<\/p>\n

Partnership<\/h2>\n

The Cato T. Laurencin Institute for Regenerative Engineering in partnership with the Advanced Regenerative Manufacturing Institute (ARMI), produces a webinar series Rising Stars of Regenerative Engineering: The Dynamic of Students and Research Mentors. The format for the virtual convening series provides a description of the research by the trainee followed by a dialogue with the mentor. Beyond the science, the webinars address the social and psychological dimensions of research training.<\/p>\n

Monthly T32 Convergence Forum<\/h2>\n

Each session provides an opportunity for discussion and camaraderie among the Fellows. Each meeting features a Far-Out and Trends in Convergence topics presented by a Fellow and faculty on new perspectives in biomedical sciences.<\/p>\n

Research Labs<\/h2>\n

Faculty investigators throughout the School of Medicine utilize state-of-the-art laboratories and interdisciplinary resources to further enhance research finding and advancements.<\/p>\n
