How many days or hours per week are required to participate in Winn CDA? Will there be specific days of the week or times that need to be dedicated to participation in the program? Can the work be completed after-hours or on the weekends?

The following are current guidelines, but they are not definitive and will continue to evolve:

• The expectation is that 40% (roughly two days a week) of the scholar’s time should be allocated (protected) to participate in Winn CDA-related activities. The specific schedule may vary based on individuals’ situations. Time working with the mentor on his/her clinical trial and other mentoring activities will be determined between each mentor and mentee.
• The schedule may be different for each cohort. For example, there will be an intensive six-day training toward the beginning of the program (year 1 only), there will be an Annual Convening, a series of webinars/learning days, and other activities. Currently, the first cohort meets virtually on a bi-weekly basis (every other Friday).
