The Careers in Translational Science Seminar Series aims to broaden the exposure of graduate students, post-docs and other trainees at the HSC on the variety of career options within Biomedical Science. Whether it is forging ahead to make Translational discoveries, educating the next generation of scientists, or influencing national policy related to research, there are a variety of options for our various trainees to choose from. Speakers in this series represent the top of their respective fields and the paths that they have taken in their careers will serve as models for others who strive for excellence.

The Clinical and Translational Investigator Program is a unique non-degree two-year program for 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 scholar makes four presentations over the two-year period: specific aims, significance and innovation; methods; a podium style presentation of study results; and a research ethics vignette. Presenters 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 program is also closely coordinated with the CTSC’s Participant and Clinical Interactions unit, which helps to facilitate hands-on mentoring for scholars on clinical study processes.

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. Since 2010, CTIP scholars have obtained approximately 40 extramural grants. The program is also effective at building collegiality among junior faculty and introducing researchers to others in different fields with similar interests.

Sessions are held on the third Tuesday of the month. Meetings are not held in July and December.

Student Research Day is a day-long event when BSGP students give short talks or present a poster regarding their research. A speaker is invited and the talk is followed by an open lunch for all students, faculty and post-docs. The best oral talks or poster presentations receive awards and recognition.

Research Day is coordinated by the Biomedical Sciences Graduate Student Society (BSGSS). This annual event is typically hosted in the Spring. Dates and locations are announced in the weekly Research Education Office Digest and on this website when finalized.
