Networking
SHARP Attendees Around the World
The Skills for Health and Research Professionals (SHARP) trainings teach in-demand research skills, and offer an amazing opportunity to network with individuals from around the world. Since SHARP's introduction in 2017, we have trained 3800+ trainees, from 600+ organizations. Attendees have joined from all 50 United States, Puerto Rico, and 45+ countries around the world.
Connect During Meals and Breaks
These informal conversations have led to amazing outcomes, from deeper understandings of the current landscape of research activities in specific topic areas, to new collaborations across fields and organizations. These opportunities are built into our in-person, virtual and hybrid trainings.
Stay Connected with Instructors
Our world-renowned course directors are available to answer questions post-training. Though the trainings only take place over a few days, the learning opportunities continue long after the training is complete.
LinkedIn Group Across the Full Program
Connect with attendees and instructors across the entire SHARP program via our exclusive LinkedIn group. This offers long-term networking opportunties to researchers with many areas of expertise across the world.
