Supporting Research Leaders

CARTI's Managing Your Research Program seminar series provides how-tos and best practices for anyone new to leading a research team or interested in honing leadership skills. These are the "soft skills" necessary for professional success that are rarely formally incorporated into any curriculum — time management, conflict resolution, creative thinking, staffing, giving/receiving feedback, and many others.

We invite UMSOM faculty members who have demonstrated success in specific areas to share their insights on how to develop and master these skills. We rotate through topics, so every topic is offered every year. Topics in the past have included:

Developing Leadership Skills as a Research Investigator
Establishing Collaborations and Creating Your Network
Financing Your Research
Giving Effective Feedback
Increasing Your Visibility Using Social Media
Leading a Diverse and Inclusive Lab
Managing Up: Communicating With Your Boss
Negotiation Skills
Project Management
Staffing Your Lab
Succeeding in Research During a Pandemic
