Information Session
Watch the recording of our Sept 17, 2025 Zoom information session about the Clinical/Translational Research Training Track and application process.
Program Overview
CARTI is seeking applications for the 2026 Clinical/Translational Research Training Track. This program provides training to UMB faculty and senior postdoctoral fellows (who are within 6-12 months of a faculty role) who are seeking foundational training in developing and executing a mentored clinical/translational and/or public health research project, including effectively communicating research to get published and funded. CARTI scholars are expected to submit a grant application within 6 months of participation in the training track.
This 4-month training program will include didactic instruction on topics related to project design and implementation and scientific communication (with a focus on grant writing), as well as experiential learning. Upon completion of the didactic and experiential learning, scholars will have a complete research proposal that will undergo review by a mock study section. CARTI scholars are required to complete each element of the training schedule, including completion of an individual development plan (IDP) and submission of a grant application within 6 months of participation.
The proposed training schedule for CARTI scholars is as follows:
