The Research Fellowship is a two-year program that results in the fellow obtaining a masters degree. This is most commonly done through either the Graduate School of Public Health, or the NIH-sponsored Clinical Research Training Program (CRTP). The purpose of the Research Fellowship is to produce well-trained, well-rounded fellows who will acquire the skills needed to begin to pursue an independent research career and to launch an academic career.
We accomplish these goals by:
Submerging the fellows in an intensive and comprehensive research environment
Ensuring that the fellows are intimately involved in all aspects of research
Having the fellows serve as part of a well-established team of emergency medicine investigators
Providing the fellows with intensive guidance and direct (i.e. one-on-one) mentorship
Directing the pursuit of graduate studies that will enhance the basic skill set needed for independence
Assisting the fellows in the development and conduct of original experimentation of their design
Having the fellows submit their own proposals to both the Institutional Review Board (IRB) and the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC)
Assisting the fellow in the preparation of grant proposals
Matching the fellows with the appropriate mentors, and submitting K08 or K23 proposals by the programs end
Additional Opportunities
Our Department currently has several ongoing NIH-funded clinical trials, as well as several NIH-funded basic science investigations.
Our Department has dedicated large and small animal laboratories, and wet/biochemistry laboratories. We also have the federally-funded First Responder Human Performance Laboratory.
We are a participating site in the international Resuscitation Outcomes Consortium (ROC), which lends additional support and experience opportunities for our fellows.
