Research institute looking for applicants for predoctoral training award
The Indiana Clinical and Translational Research Institute (CTSI) is seeking Purdue University applicants for special predoctoral training awards in translational research.
Translational research consists of either "T1 research" (interface of basic science to human studies) or "T2 research" (interface of human studies to the community). Funding is available for pre-doctoral graduate students.
Criteria for application include:
* Successful completion of at least one year of predoctoral training (i.e., applicants must be in at least the second year of their predoctoral program when they apply).
* Co-mentorship by faculty investigators from at least two different disciplines (preferably a clinician and a nonclinician-scientist).
* Research that is translational in nature.
* U.S. citizen or permanent resident status.
Funding is for one year and is renewable for an additional year. Benefits include a full stipend as well as at least partial payment, if applicable, of health insurance, tuition and fees and access to travel funds.
Applications must be submitted by Feb. 15, and awards will start by summer 2009.
Interested candidates should e-mail their CV to Colleen Gabauer, Ed.D, at cgabauer@purdue.edu (phone: 765-494-9256). Eligible candidates will be informed of how to proceed with applying.
