Designed Support for Student Research Avenues

Submitted by Christopher M Greder on

We propose a designed growth path for emerging researchers that does not currently exist. When Ph.D.’s defend, it is expected that their directed training and research focus will provide clear direction for impactful future work, but that assumption has not been realized. We propose an entry path for graduate students to better understand and contribute to research and administration publication functions that should enhance their academic prospects and help them add to scientific solutions business desperately needs.
