Individuals will ordinarily be supported for a minimum of two years of training. During this time they will develop skills to create further independent funding to support them for the remainder of their program (in the case of predoctoral trainees) or their career (in the case of postdoctoral trainees). All trainees will share common outcomes, although the level, breadth, and depth of achievement will be based on their prior training and experience.
