INTERDISCIPLINARY RESEARCH FELLOWSHIP (T32) PROGRAM

Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School

This postdoctoral fellowship program will address the pressing need for strengthening and diversifying the pipeline for well-trained clinician investigators through the development testing and implementation of clinical and behavioral prevention interventions across the continuum from health to illness across all care settings (hospital, nursing homes) and in the community for older individuals or those with persistent or serious illness, and their care-partners. The program will also provide the many trainees who have interest and commitment to clinical and behavioral research with the opportunity for interdisciplinary training that cuts across our departments, and includes additional relevant disciplines such as neurology, nursing, rehabilitation sciences and social work. Trainees will receive specialized didactic training that covers methods across the NIH stage model, trial design and community engaged research across primary, secondary and tertiary prevention, biostatistics, clinical trial management, scientific writing, health disparities and social determinants of health, leadership skills and career planning, in preparation for career development awards or other independent applications to be submitted by the end of the fellowship period. Trainees will develop mentored clinical research projects that use the NIH stage model and will receive experiential training through their mentors’ NIH funded clinical trials
