Clinical Research Career Development Opportunity
On behalf of the Multidisciplinary Clinical Research Training Program (MCRTP), I am writing to invite you to identify outstanding candidates who would benefit from our program. Qualified candidates are being offered an opportunity to apply to an innovative career development program whose purpose is to train clinician investigators. The KL2 MCRTP is part of the Cleveland Clinical and Translational Science Collaborative. The KL2 is designed to train the nation’s future leaders in clinical and translational research, and is part of the NIH Roadmap aimed at “re-engineering the clinical research enterprise.”
The MCRTP has just welcomed its fifth cohort of scholars and is now seeking applications for the sixth cohort. At this time, we expect to fill four Clinical Research Scholar positions beginning the program in July 2010. Applicants should hold an MD, PhD, DDS, Pharm D, PsyD or equivalent degree and have a demonstrated interest in careers that focus on clinical research. Each scholar will embark on a 4 year program of intensive training in multidisciplinary team-based, patient-oriented clinical research, combining an innovative curriculum with mentored research experiences. The competitive applicant will be at an early career stage, e.g. senior postdoctoral fellow, instructor, or entry level faculty member, and will need to explain through the application the ways in which the program will lead to a successful career in clinical research. Successful applicants will receive a comprehensive package including: CASE appointment Salary and benefits commensurate with their qualifications supporting 75% effort (surgeons may commit 50%) Research stipend averaging $25,000 per year Tuition benefits at $38,000 for an innovative didactic program leading to a degree in clinical investigation (half of which will come from a Departmental cost-share) Travel funds at $1,500 per year Access to a multidisciplinary pool of highly accomplished mentors who will guide their research projects. Please feel free to copy, post and circulate the attached flyer or check our web site for further details (www.clevelandclinic.org/mcrtp/). We are especially seeking qualified applicants from under represented populations. We appreciate your attention to this request and thank you, in advance, for your assistance.
