Collage of T32 scholars

Twelve scholars recently joined the CTSI T32 program, a two-year NIH-funded training opportunity integrating a mentored full-time research experience with an individualized curriculum. The program offers unique professional career development activities focused on translational science, team science, and effective communication with the larger community.

CTSI T32 scholars are connected with unique resources and expertise-building skills to complement their PhD and postdoc programs. Representing diverse disciplines and the full translational spectrum, they also learn from each other. A recent scholar noted, "The combinations of scholars from different programs was the most beneficial in opening my eyes to other possibilities and not just focusing on my program."

The 12 new scholars come from five University colleges. Information about each scholar’s mentors and their research project can be found on the T32 program web page.

Welcome to our new T32 scholars!
