Fostering Tobacco Regulatory Team Science through a multisite, virtual fellowship program for early-career researchers.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

In an era of complex, multi-institutional, team-based science, there is little guidance for the successful creation of effective, collaborative, multisite training programs.

Objective

We designed, implemented, and evaluated a multi-institutional Tobacco Regulatory Science (TRS) fellowship representing a scalable program that may be customized for other research areas.

Methods
