Duke’s Community of Scholars (CoS) seeks to connect trainees, share educational resources, and increase program efficiencies to enhance the career development of diverse scholars across Duke, enabling them to become successful researchers, mentors, and leaders.
Program activities include:
- Connecting scholars with resources, opportunities, and each other to build a robust and diverse support network
- Facilitated workshops to promote research independence
- “CoS keeps you informed” mailing list about events and opportunities
- Strengthening connections among career development programs
The CoS is not a didactic program but serves as a resource for career development scholars and programs. CoS currently holds events bringing together K-like career development scholars two-to-four times per year for networking and learning.
ELIGIBILITY
- Scholars with a career development award that includes funding for a research project, protected time, and a formalized mentor relationship
