The Fellow will also have the opportunity to published from two other community-based projects that focused on food insecurity that used quantitative and qualitative methods. In addition, there will be other publication opportunities based on existing secondary data sets as lead author and co-author. The Fellow will further their research and training agenda through formal mentorship and professional development activities, such as presenting at local and national conferences and participating in seminars through the CSON Postdoctoral Training Program. Twenty percent time can be allocated to publishing dissertation papers. The opportunity to mentor undergraduate students on research projects (implementation of projects, development of posters and manuscripts) is also available.
