BRI Series
Biomedical Research Integrity Series All NIH T32 training grant recipients must attend
sessions in the responsible conduct of research to meet PHS requirements
See web site for URL link You will all be funded at some point on the MSTP
training grant, therefore you must attend 3 lectures and 1 discussion during your time in the program.

Important things for you to know about Scientific Oral Presentations Important timetables How to register for next summer’s lab
rotation NIH MSTP Funding and Funding in general Graduate School Information MSTP Student Lounge and Keys and Fax

Scientific Oral Presentations
See Handout Presentation Structure
Have presentations that end skillfully, instead of just stop
Slides that support rather than distract from your presentation
How to take questions
Important Timetables
Choosing Next Lab Winter quarter seminar; think about during
Winter and Spring quarter Choosing Graduate Program
Should have a good idea by your second lab rotation, but will finalize with your final mentor choice
Choosing Permanent Lab Great if you know after your second rotation
but not to worry if you don’t
Important Timetables
If you’d like to do a clerkship before you start graduate school Summer between your second and third year. Must schedule through the Medical School at the
appropriate time Must be approved by an MSTP director
• Approval will happen ONLY if you have chosen a permanent lab
RROP anyone? Can squeeze one in next summer
Graduating from graduate school Plan on four years
How to register for next Summer’s lab rotation (and other non-med things) Identify your lab rotation mentor Identify which department mentor is affiliated with
and from which of those departments you want credit Doesn’t really matter which department, though if
you know your graduate department you might as well choose that one
Go to the Summer Time Schedule page (in MyUW, under Academic Planning) of appropriate department and see if you can identify which class is the summer research class. Write down Schedule Line Number
Registration, continued
Call/email graduate program advisor of department in question (see department web pages or talk to us) and get faculty code for appropriate faculty member AND which class you are to register for if that wasn’t clear
Take SLN and faculty code and go in to MyUW to register (see Registration under Student Personal Services)
