Purpose

While many NIH programs support research experiences for new basic and new clinician scientists, not all of these trainees have the opportunity to receive formal course work and training experience needed to move across the broad range of disciplines needed to translate basic discoveries in to proven therapies. Areas of potential overlap include hypothesis development, the design of clinical research projects, biostatistics, epidemiology, and the legal, ethical and regulatory issues related to clinical research.
