The University of Rochester, Children’s National Research Institute and the George Washington University are proud to announce the launch of the NIH-funded TEAMS Program (Together Everyone Achieves More in Science) — a national training initiative designed to help early-career biomedical researchers become exceptional team leaders, mentors, and collaborators.
Co-led by Dr. Beth Tarini (Children’s National Research Institute), Dr. Margaret Ormiston (Associate Professor, The George Washington University School of Business), and Dr. Nathan Smith (Associate Dean for Research Mentorship, University of Rochester), TEAMS prepares scientists to lead high-performing research teams that drive discovery.
TEAMS stands for Together Everyone Achieves More in Science. It is a free NIH-funded national training program designed to help early-career biomedical researchers develop skills in:
- Leadership
- Mentorship

The program focuses on preparing investigators to lead high-performing, multidisciplinary research teams through coursework, peer mentorship, and experiential learning over a 10‑month period. It is led by the University of Rochester, Children’s National Research Institute, and The George Washington University.
*Note, there is a 3-day in person orientation in Rochester, with the remaining components virtual.
