UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — Penn State Clinical and Translational Science Institute is now accepting applications for its 2023-2024 Translational Research Training Program (TL1) and summer 2024 Translational Science Fellowship (TSF) Program.
The Translational Research Training Program (TL1) provides tailored educational opportunities for graduate and medical students to learn skills essential for interdisciplinary clinical and translational research.
Medical students must opt to take a year off from their clinical studies to pursue research training full-time. The flexible curriculum includes statistics, epidemiology, clinical research methods, bioinformatics, research ethics and scientific communication. Coursework is combined with training in team-based research. Successful applicants remain with their major program, research adviser and lab. The TL1 program provides a 12-month stipend, 60% of fall and spring tuition, and travel funds. The student’s home department, program or adviser must provide the remaining 40% of tuition and any additional salary stipend above the National Institutes of Health (NIH) rates. Applications are due by Feb. 11, 2024.
