The Clinical and Translational Investigator Program (CTIP) is a unique two-year curriculum designed to facilitate scientific communication and accomplishment, and to provide a supportive environment for developing clinical and translational competencies in an informal and collegial atmosphere. The program is open to postdoctoral fellows, junior faculty and CTSC-affiliated scholars (including KL2 Mentored Career Development scholars and Master of Science in Clinical Research students). The aim is to provide a supportive environment for developing clinical and translational competencies.
Participants meet monthly to discuss their research, research ethics, and other topics related to conducting clinical and translational research. Each participant makes three presentations over a two-year period. The meetings also include didactic presentations that focus on clinical and translational research methods and cross-disciplinary research resources. receive feedback from their peers and faculty mentors, representing approximately 12 different departments in the School of Medicine, College of Pharmacy and College of Nursing.
The monthly meetings also include didactic presentations that focus on clinical and translational methods and cross-disciplinary research resources. Presentations have been given on study database management, comparative effectiveness research, engaging communities, clinical trials support FDA IND/IDE submission, among others. Core directors and specialists are invited to share information on resources available through the CTSC and other campus centers. The program is also effective at building collegiality among junior faculty and introducing researchers to others in different fields with similar interests.
During their first year in the Biomedical Sciences program, students (MS, PhD, MD/PhD) participate in lab rotations to help them identify research interests and mentors. After each rotation they give a short (5 min) presentation on their lab experience.
Lightning talks are typically held three times a year in October, January, and March. Dates and locations are announced in the weekly Research Education Office Digest and on this website when finalized.
