The MSIA Clinical & Translational Research Mentored Scholars Program aims to develop early career scientists and health professionals into productive, funded, clinical - translational researchers. The overall aim of the PhD program provides multidisciplinary didactic education and practical research grant training for those who intend to develop a career in clinical and translational research, so they may acquire the skills necessary to design, implement, and report ethically sound, extramurally funded clinical - translational research.
