Genetics and Genomics Research Leadership Program

The G2 Research Ledership Program is a collaborative leadership development program designed to enhance research leadership and mentoring skills. The success as a leader in research increasingly hinges on the ability to cultivate the competencies of a research team with diverse skills, experiences, and perspectives, while simultaneously ensuring research productivity. However, the vast majority of graduate students and postdoctoral fellows lack relevant leadership experience and credentials upon graduation. Through the G2 Research Leadership Program, graduate students and postdoctoral fellows lead a team of undergraduates and engage in a collaborative research project chosen by the Team Leader. Team Leaders periodically meet to discuss challenges they face mentoring teams and being productive. In monthly meetings, the team leaders leverage their diverse perspectives and experiences to collaborate on leadership strategies, helping each other overcome challenges and develop innovative research and mentoring practices.
