Professional Development

The Professional Development Core provides training and career development across the translational science continuum.

Services include professional development seminars and workshops, on-line learning modules (Nature Masterclasses and Bouvier Grant Group), cohorts for scientists seeking major NIH funding (K Cohort and R01 cohort), scholarship opportunities, and more. Please find more information below.

Fellowship and Scholarship Opportunities

The PD Core administers three distinct funding mechanisms for physician-scientists spanning medical education, residency training, and early-career faculty appointments.
  • Dean's Research Scholars are awarded to medical students who aspire to become a physician-scientist a one-year, paid fellowship.

  • Residents are eligible to apply to participate in a year of research under the new UofL Resident Physician Scientist Development (RPSD) Program.

  • Presidential Scholars are awarded to junior faculty, within 5 years of initial appointment, with 50% protected time for one year. 

AI in 30

AI (artificial intelligence) in 30 seminars are developed for busy investigators and are 30 minutes in length, with 20 minutes devoted to a system overview, a case study or an important concept, with the remaining 10 minutes allocated for Q&A.

ISCORE-RC

The IDeA State Consortium for Clinical Research Resource Center (ISCORE-RC) is now available as a resource for clinical research teams. ISCORE-RC offers a comprehensive training program for clinical research coordinators and a dedicated clinical service core designed to enhance capacity for increased clinical study opportunities.

Made possible by funding from the National Institutes of Health (NIH), this innovative resource center facilitated by the West Virginia Clinical and Translational Science Institute is revolutionizing access to clinical research opportunities for underserved populations in Institutional Development Award (IDeA) states, that traditionally have relatively low rates of NIH funding and limited numbers of NIH funded clinical trials.
