Description
Sudeshna De, Kharma Foucher, and Lawrie Zhang describe a bootcamp for new research staff in this 2026 conference abstract. Their center at the University of Illinois Chicago offers a certificate that takes about eighteen months, but new hires needed a fast, hands-on start.
The team built a one and a half day workshop for staff with up to two years of experience. Day one mixed talks on project management, safety, and ethics with a choice of hands-on sessions, and day two covered local policies. Of 38 who signed up, 34 came for at least one day. Surveys before and after tracked confidence and sense of belonging to the research community.
