Education Programs and Training
SYNERGY's Office of Research Training (SORT) bridges established and new programs in T1 to T2 to T3 research training at Dartmouth.
Training Initiatives
The following new training initiatives have been put in place:
- Three institutionally supported certificate and graduate-degree programs at Dartmouth in clinical translational research. Purpose: To train the next generation of investigators in the interdisciplinary biomedical/health sciences essential to research translation:
- An intensive Certificate Program in translational research methods, including clinical research design, management, recruitment procedures, IRB processes, data management, and data analysis. A one-day Introductory Certificate Program is offered on February 26, 2011.
- An innovative 18-month Master of Science Program in Health Care Delivery Science, reflecting Dartmouth's unique strengths, including its first-in-the-nation Center for Health Care Delivery Science.
- A PhD track in Quantitative Biomedical Sciences (QBS) with an integrated curriculum that fills critical gaps in bioinformatics, biostatistics, and epidemiology.
- A two-year Synergy Scholars (K12) Program. Purpose: To support the career advancement of early translational research fellows and junior faculty scientists.

Graduate Programs
Find a Mentor: The SYNERGY Mentoring Academy
Quality mentoring is the bedrock of successful research training. SYNERGY has assembled a translational research Mentoring Academy of highly accomplished faculty with a successful history of mentoring early career investigators.
Writing Grants and Manuscripts
Writing NIH grants and biomedical manuscripts remains a major challenge for many researchers and clinicians world-wide, and many reputations and careers rest on the ability of scientists to communicate clearly and forcefully.
To be successful, researchers at all levels and fields must master grantsmanship and writing techniques. Through Dartmouth's Norris Cotton Cancer Center, Christopher Dant, PhD, offers such education and training to staff, students, postdoctoral and physician fellows, and faculty.
