Abstract: As life sciences research evolves, standards of rigor and professionalism remain essential. We present a flexible competency-based framework designed to align program objectives, curricula, and mentoring expectations, thereby enhancing trainee skill development and program adaptability.Life sciences research requires high standards of rigor and professionalism, which need to be woven into the training future scientists. This Community Page presents a competency-based framework to use to align curriculum and trainee outcomes with educational objectives in the life sciences.
