The CCRC trains undergraduate and graduate students, postdoctoral research associates, and visiting scientists from the U.S. and around the world in the principles, methods, and analytical techniques used to study complex carbohydrates.

Short-term trainees may enroll in one or more of the four one-week training courses the CCRC offers every summer for scientists in academic, governmental, or industrial laboratories.

These varied training opportunities are supported in part by fees from participants and by funds from the US Department of Energy and the US National Institutes of Health.
