CTSA Predoctoral T32 at UC Davis
NCATS - National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences
About This Grant
PROJECT SUMMARY The UC Davis Clinical and Translational Science Center (CTSC) Predoctoral T32 Training Program will serve a critical role in shaping the next generation of clinical and translational scientists by addressing the national need for an interdisciplinary workforce equipped to tackle complex health challenges. The T32 is being submitted in association with the CTSA UM1, which encompasses the overarching infrastructure for the UC Davis CTSC. The Predoctoral T32 program is a key institutional resource providing structured training pathways that closely align with the needs of individuals and the need to build and grow a translational science workforce. The Predoctoral T32 program will annually support six predoctoral positions, including four graduate students and two medical students. Graduate students will have the opportunity for a two-year training experience while medical students will participate in a one-year program, with the innovative Academic Research Careers for Medical Doctors (ARC-MD) pathway fostering a seamless transition from the medical school curriculum to the Predoctoral T32 program for exceptional candidates. Trainees and mentors are selected through a competitive application process from a variety of disciplines across the Schools of Medicine, Nursing, and Veterinary Medicine, and the Colleges of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences, Biological Sciences, Engineering, and Letters and Sciences. The Predoctoral T32 program provides a creative and tailored training and scientific milieu facilitating career development for trainees as independent investigators in academic and industry careers, and members of high-level clinical and translational science teams. The overriding objectives are to facilitate individualized training pathways for a competent workforce that crosses disciplines and provides a pipeline of trainees to engage in academic, clinical, entrepreneurial, government, or industry-related careers. The specific goals of the proposed T32 program are to: 1) Provide a flexible and innovative clinical and translational science curriculum tailored to T32 trainees; 2) Provide foundational knowledge in innovative methods of research, including artificial intelligence and data science; 3) Coalesce the resources of a comprehensive university to equip predoctoral trainees with the skills and knowledge related to community engagement research; and 4) Implement, sustain, and disseminate pathways and programs to increase trainees’ research career persistence and their understanding of career opportunities. Program innovations include tailored mentoring practices, translational immersion experiences, collaborative research opportunities, and dynamic skill-building workshops, all designed to enhance trainee development. The Predoctoral T32 program will also incorporate individualized career development plans, regular mentor-mentee reviews, engagement with multi-disciplinary mentoring teams, and opportunities to building a community of trainees. The UC Davis CTSC Predoctoral T32 Training Program will foster innovation and collaboration and equip our trainees to advance clinical and translational research and improve health.
