“The PennDOC research fellowship provided me with an invaluable opportunity to cultivate my investigative skills while fostering significant personal growth. Within the program, I gained proficiency in clinical data collection with REDCap, and statistical analysis, while developing a framework for crafting persuasive stories to best relay the message of our studies. Most importantly, the fellowship facilitated the formation of lifelong connections with mentors and my co-fellows for which I am immensely grateful.” – Mara Trifoi
