BEAT-CKD Postgraduate and Early Career Researcher (ECR Network)
The aim of the BEAT-CKD PG/ECR network is to provide postgraduate and early career researchers access to support in multidisciplinary research methods and opportunities for knowledge exchange, networking and collaboration. Members include postgraduate students, early career researchers, and supervisors (BEAT-CKD investigators). We have month video conference sessions focussed on specific methods or topics of broad interest. Members may also post relevant information (e.g. project ideas, grants, opportunities for collaboration, training opportunities) to the network via beat-ckd.ecr@mailman.sydney.edu.au. For more information, contact Yeoungjee Cho, Phil Clayton or Allison Tong via research@beatckd.org.
