Participants will spend mornings in instructional sessions with experts in intervention research. Early afternoons will be spent in small groups with faculty mentors working on different aspects of their proposals (i.e., aims, approach and analysis). Participants will be assigned to a particular group based upon their own interests and selected topics associated with the proposed research. Each group will be assigned a mentor (faculty) whose expertise and background is closely linked with participants’ interests or selected topics. Participants will re-convene in late afternoons to discuss issues and share their work (i.e., a debriefing session) with the entire group. It is expected that participants will work on their proposals during the evening hours.

Participants will need to bring a laptop to participate in the Summer Institute.

NOTE: NIH Project Officers will be available to meet individually with participants throughout the week. A sign-up sheet will be circulated for scheduling these individual appointments.
