Abstract

Doctoral research programs have several core purposes. In many places these programs are labelled “research training” because it is through them that future researchers who are capable of independent and team research contributions are trained. Graduates from research programs enter a new realm of research participation that builds their performance capacity and that of the institutions, professional communities and societies that supported their training, and provide spaces for their postdoctoral research and work.
