K30 Track II Graduate Training Program in
Clinical and Translational Investigation
NOW ACCEPTING APPLICATIONS
Apply On-line February 1-May 20, 2010
Details online at the UCLA K30 webpage - www.k30.ucla.edu
Applicants should hold professional degrees in Medicine, Dentistry, Nursing, or other clinical disciplines. PhD scientists who are highly committed to clinical investigation will also be considered. Applicants must also be U.S. citizens, noncitizen nationals or lawfully admitted permanent residents of the U.S.
The UCLA Graduate Training Program in Clinical and Translational Investigation (also known as the K30 Program) was developed to provide clinicians with the necessary training to become successful patient-oriented investigators who can bridge molecular medicine and clinical research.
Track II consists of a structured two-year part-time program that leads to a certificate awarded by the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA and has a curriculum that assists participants in preparing highly competitive:
• Patient-oriented studies
• K23 applications
• NIH R01 grants in clinical research
• Research papers for publication in prestigious general medical/scientific journals. Areas of focus include clinical research design and methods, statistics, clinical pharmacology, genetics, women’s health, brain imaging, health service outcomes, regulatory issues, research in minority populations, and scientific writing.
Background:
The K30 program is a multidisciplinary effort at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA to provide educational opportunities in clinical research for house staff (residents and fellows) and faculty. The K30 program offers various options available for advanced training in clinical research. Options vary from isolated workshops (see Track I) to a formally structured certificate program (see Track II) and a Master’s Degree in Clinical Research (Track III).
The goals of these educational opportunities are to enable fellows and faculty to:
• Design and conduct clinical research (clinical trials and observational studies) and to successfully compete for funding (e.g. NIH K23 or RO1’s in Clinical Research)
• Analyze the data and interpret the results of their research
• Present their research at scientific meetings and in the medical literature
• Critique and interpret the research of others
