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
- NIH-funded TL1 scholarship program for pre-medical students
- Scholarship assistance to the Clinical Research Training Program (CRTP) for pre-doctoral students (NIH TL1 program)
Degree Programs and Other Training Opportunities
- Master of Management in Clinical Informatics (MMCi)
- Duke Health Disparities Research Curriculum
- A program for mentored research in Otolaryngology and Communication Disorders
- Regulatory Affairs Training Program
- Duke Scholars in Molecular Medicine (DSMM)
- National Clinician Scholars Program (NCSP)
Experiential Learning Programs
- Discovering Career Options in Translational Science (DICOTS) Network
- Duke Clinical Research Undergraduate Experience Program (dCRUE)
- Duke's STAR program (link is external)for high school and college students and local science educators
- BIGGER: The Bridging the Gap to Enhance Clinical Research Program
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.
