Student Work in Progress (SWIP) Program Led by Dr. Rajani Maiya |
Student Work in Progress (SWIP) is a weekly session in which graduate students present their research or grant proposals or practice presentations that they will be giving at national or local meetings. Students learn to present their work, critique each other using positive suggestions and recommendations and help each other with research questions and research methods. One faculty member facilitates the sessions, but the major input is from the graduate students. |

Work in Progress (WIP) Program Led by Dr. Nicholas Gilpin |
The main purpose of the WIP program is to provide a forum for faculty and fellows to present their work to a general audience outside their niche area of expertise and receive feedback. The focus of these meetings is always basic research. However, efforts are made to explore possibilities to enhance translational research through establishing clinician-basic scientist partnerships and via development of translational grant ideas. These sessions vary from true data-centric works-in-progress to dedicated grantsmanship workshops to discussion of summary statements. |
