Predoctoral Clinical Research Training Program

Fact Sheet

In fiscal year 2005, an NIH Roadmap initiative provided nearly $6.7 million in funding to ten institutions to promote clinical research training among predoctoral medical, dental, nursing, and other allied health students to provide efficient entry of interested students into clinical research careers. The ten institutions were chosen because they have a strong clinical research infrastructure and novel training ideas. These programs give institutions the flexibility they need to develop novel training programs that provide all students access to a range of clinical research experiences appropriate to their interest, thus increasing the pipeline to clinical research careers.

The goal of Predoctoral Clinical Research Training Program is to increase the number of well-trained clinical researchers who will assume leadership roles in the design and oversight of future clinical investigations critical to the overall mission of the NIH. The Program will provide early exposure and appropriate training in clinical research for predoctoral students enrolled in medical and dental schools, and nursing and allied health students enrolled in doctoral programs.

The ten institutions to receive the award are:

• Duke University, Eugene Oddone
• Johns Hopkins University, Neil Powe
• Medical University of South Carolina, Barbara Tilley
• Ohio State University, Philip Binkley
• University of California San Diego, Carolyn Kelly
• University of California, San Francisco, Joel Palefsky
• University of Michigan at Ann Arbor, Sewon Kang
• University of Washington, Pamela Mitchell
• Washington University, Jay Piccirillo
• Yale University, John Forrest
