Short Term Training
Following 20 hours of preparatory work in the trainee's home country using distance learning technology (at the trainee's convenience), trainees spend four to eight weeks at the University of Iowa. Specific goals are carefully crafted before the visit and consist of activities such as preparing manuscripts, learning a new research technique, using libraries, database facilities, and developing new curriculum.
