CTS pathway research projects must have a UWSOM faculty mentor. If a prospective research project mentor is not a UWSOM faculty member, then a project will need a co-mentor who holds a UWSOM faculty appointment. The UWSOM co-mentor will assist in ensuring that the project meets the requirements of the Triple I Discovery option and the CTS pathway. Medical student research directors and UWSOM faculty teaching the CTS pathway courses are potentially co-mentors for these projects.
