The objective of the proposed minor in Teamwork in Interdisciplinary Biomedical Research (TIBR) is to provide interdisciplinary team science training and professional development for future leaders in academia, government, and industry who will subsequently make groundbreaking molecular medicine discoveries, embrace and apply the concepts of rigor and reproducibility and responsible conduct of science, and participate in translating new discoveries into clinical applications for the benefit of human health.

Minimum Grade Requirements for the Minor Courses 

A grade of S (pass/fail courses) or B (graded courses) must be achieved in each course counted towards the minor.
