      The Duke Biosciences Collaborative for Research Engagement (BioCoRE) program is primarily funded by the National Institutes of Health's Initiative for Maximizing Student Development (NIH-IMSD) grant. The BioCoRE program is centered on building an inclusive community of research scholars in the biomedical, biological and behavioral sciences for undergraduate, graduate students and faculty. My postdoc is 50% research and 50% administrative. I support in the organization of events and programs for promoting student development with research experiences, engagement with faculty, and career development activities. I am in charge of analyzing the data collected by the BioCoRE program for program assessment and publishing findings in scholarly journals. Show less
