CCTS Professional Development Scholars Program
Program Director: Dr. Phil Marucha
The Center for Clinical and Translational Science (CCTS) Professional Development Scholars Award supports the research efforts and career development of junior faculty dedicated to patient-orientated research. Awards will support career development for individuals in clinical disciplines and professions. The CCTS Professional Development Scholars Program seeks to develop well-structured and well-recognized career development pathways that lead to the exploration of new approaches in patient-oriented, epidemiological, behavioral, health services, and outcomes research. Professional Development Scholars are provided protected time to conduct research and pursue career development opportunities as well as research funding to support these efforts for two years.
