The CTSI Education and Workforce Development Core supports the advancement of the next generation of interdisciplinary research leaders, offering an evolving portfolio of workforce development opportunities to address the training needs of a range of learners—from staff to students to faculty.
We recognize the need to create a continuum of education that facilitates the translation of basic and clinical science discoveries to the bedside and the clinic. To this end, numerous online resources exist to supplement onsite professional development offerings; many of these resources have been made available by peer CTSA institutions. Additionally, the Duke CTSI supports numerous educational opportunities in translational medicine at Duke, including:
Career Development Awards
-
CTSA-funded Mentored Clinical Research Scholar Program (NIH KL2 program) – a three-year career development program for junior faculty
-
Scholarship assistance to the Clinical Research Training Program (CRTP) for pre-doctoral students (NIH TL1 program)
Degree Programs and Other Training Opportunities
Experiential Learning Programs
-
Duke's STAR program for high school and college students and local science educators
-
BIGGER: The Bridging the Gap to Enhance Clinical Research Program for recent college graduates seeking a research experience in their gap year
The CTSI Education and Workforce Development Core also supports and works closely with the Duke Office of Physician-Scientist Development and the Duke School of Medicine Office for Research Mentoring.
