D2R Master’s and Doctoral Scholar Awards
A foundational goal of D2R is to help cultivate the next generation of researchers. Being a D2R Scholar is the highest recognition available to D2R trainees and the awards recognize outstanding and active trainees performing research across all of D2R’s Foundational Axes. The D2R Master’s and Doctoral Scholar Awards both financially support excellent graduate students and provide them with leading-edge interdisciplinary and intersectoral training through the D2R Training Program.
D2R Training Program
The D2R Training Program will consist of a series of workshops and training opportunities featuring topics central to D2R’s mission, such as research collaboration, data science, integration of EDI principles, and science in industry. This Program will complement course work and research training to help D2R Scholars improve as graduate research students, become active members of the collaborative D2R community, and build future careers in RNA therapeutics and genomic medicine.
