Professional Development Programs

The Graduate School provides a variety of opportunities and resources to support graduate students' professional development. 

• The Teaching Assistant Training Opportunity, TATTO, program introduces graduate students to the profession of teaching in a supervised and gradual manner.  Participation in TATTO is required of all doctoral students.
• Professional Development Support Funds are available to support three categories of professional activities: conference participation, special training that is not available at Emory, and research that incurs extraordinary costs.  Funds are available within certain limits, through an application and review process.
• Emory's Grant Writing Program provides unparalled support for students to apply for research grants from a wide range of sources.  The program offers sessions that range from information sessions open to all students to intensive working sessions focusing on grant proposal drafts.
• We have collected some resources and information to help students identify entities that support research in a wide range of fields and on many different issues.
• Several entities at Emory offer resources and support for research activities.
