Led by members of the South Central Climate Science Center (SC CSC) consortium, this project developed and implemented a professional development training for graduate students, postdocs, and early career environmental professionals conducting climate-related research associated with the south-central U.S. The project built upon the successes and feedback from a similar training conducted in June 2014. The training (1) introduced a new cohort of early career researchers to the goals, structure, and unique research-related challenges of the SC CSC and its place within the U.S. Department of the Interior and the larger CSC network, offering them insight into how their research fits into the broader research priority...
This guide is intended to provide lessons learned and best practices for developing and implementing an early-career researcher-based training, including integrating educational sessions on interdisciplinary topics. Such a guide can be useful as a blueprint for future regional or national trainings that bring together students, post-docs, and early-career professionals from research organizations, such as the USGS Climate Science Centers. The following guide is split into pre-event, the event itself, and post-event items to consider.
