Eligibility
This opportunity is intended for Duke faculty who have held an R01-equivalent grant and are interested in developing innovative research education programs that provide meaningful research experiences in clinical and translational science. Proposed programs should focus on preparing the next generation of the translational science workforce by offering educational activities that complement existing training programs and advance the science of translation. Eligible participants may include undergraduate students, graduate students, health professional students, postdoctoral fellows, medical residents, and junior faculty.
For additional information—including eligibility requirements, application instructions, review criteria, and important deadlines—please visit the Duke CTSI funding opportunity webpage.
We encourage you to consider submitting a (3-page maximum) concept proposal and to share this opportunity with colleagues who may also be interested. Please note this has been broadly shared across Duke University and our partner institutions.
