    • Discussion: Peer review & discussion of Assignment 8; other pending questions. When reading peer’s training document, consider: Does the candidate’s background demonstrate a capacity to do research? Are the candidate’s goals clear? What does the candidate need to do to achieve their goals? Is there a pathway to an independent research career separate from the mentor? Do the planned activities include some new didactics, workshops, and/or formal mentoring?
