Our Mission

We are proud to support the mission of the UNC School of Medicine, and grateful to serve the people of North Carolina.

CSIP Learning Objectives

We plan to achieve this mission by focusing our training on 6 major training outcomes (see Figure below), which are aligned with the NIH/NIGMS focus area of Systems and Integrative Physiology:
“Training in this area should be directed toward building the broad research competence required to investigate the integrative, regulatory and developmental processes of higher organisms and the functional components of these processes. The goal of these programs is to train scientists who will use a diversity of experimental approaches–from the molecular and cellular to the behavioral and computational–to understand integrated and complex biological problems.”
