CTSI is welcoming 15 new and continuing scholars into its mentored research training programs. The participants represent a range of disciplines and career stages across the University of Minnesota.
Through the CTSI T32 Program and Translational Research Development Program (TRDP), participants conduct research full time with multidisciplinary mentors while receiving individualized training and professional development. Their training focuses on translational science, team science, community engagement, and effective communication, with opportunities to learn alongside researchers across the translational spectrum.
