Curriculum

The intensive 2-week program will integrate comprehensive formal instruction on:

• Multiple omics platforms: (proteomics, populomics, genomics, transcriptomics and metabolomics) and bioinformatics, with an emphasis on ethical use of data sciences, machine learning, and artificial intelligence.
• How coding decisions as affects AI and machine learning in the output of cardiovascular and pulmonary disease data and increases health disparities.
• Career development tools including grant writing with a focus on drafting a specific aims page using rhetorical patterns of writing, how to negotiate, how to mentor/be mentored and other tools for junior faculty.
• An additional level of engagement distinct from the mentor-mentee relationship.  We will implement 2 levels of academic advisement, the traditional mentor-mentee, followed by an academic coach who complements and enhances the mentors’ role.  The coach will help scholars navigate the intricacies of academia, using group activities and social science approaches such as communities of practice and cultural capital.
• Best practices in mentoring so they can understand the challenges junior faculty members entering academia face.
