Participants will also learn how to identify and shortlist relevant programs aligned to their research direction.

Research Direction Blueprint (Public Health / Cancer / Microbial Genomics):

Narrow down a broad interest into a specific, globally relevant research niche with clear objectives and impact.

Dataset Discovery & Feasibility Planning:

Identify appropriate public datasets and define inclusion criteria, expected outputs, and limitations before analysis.

Workflow Blueprinting (Pipeline Design):

Create a step-by-step computational plan covering QC → analysis → validation → reporting (tools + outputs + checkpoints).

Publication & PhD Readiness Strategy:

Convert your concept note into a roadmap for publishable results, thesis structure, and strong applications.
