T3 2 I NSTI TUTI ONAL NATI ONAL RESEARCH S ERVI CE AWARD ( NRSA) T32 INSTITUTIONAL NATIONAL RESEARCH SERVICE AWARD (NRSA) The Overarching Objective of the Institutional Research Training Grant (T32) Medical Scientist Training Program (MSTP) is to develop a diverse pool of highly trained physician-scientists.

The grant application showcases the following aspects of the program: The skills necessary to integrate research and clinical activities in support of a productive research career; The ability to utilize clinical experience and observations to identify important biomedical research questions and develop impactful research programs; A broad understanding across biomedical disciplines and the skills to independently acquire the knowledge needed to advance their chosen fields; The ability to think critically and independently and to identify important biomedical research questions and approaches that push forward the boundaries of their areas of study and that enable the translation of basic research findings into clinical practice; A strong foundation in scientific reasoning, rigorous research design, experimental methods, quantitative and computational approaches, and data analysis and interpretation; A commitment to approaching and conducting biomedical research and clinical practice responsibly, ethically and with integrity; Experience initiating, conducting, interpreting, and presenting rigorous and reproducible biomedical research with increasing self-direction; The ability to work effectively in teams with colleagues from a variety of cultural and scientific backgrounds, and to promote inclusive and supportive scientific research environments; The skills to teach and communicate scientific research methodologies and findings to a wide variety of audiences (e.g., discipline-specific, across disciplines, and the public); and The knowledge, professional skills, and experiences required to identify and transition into productive careers in the biomedical research workforce that utilize the dual-degree training.

Medical Scientist Grand Rounds is a series of joint clinical/scientific presentations that highlight the doctoral work of our senior MD/PhD students. A senior MD/PhD student in the clinical training phase presents the clinical Case as an introduction to a scientific topic with the guidance of a clinician expert. The doctoral research presentation focuses the discussion on specific research questions from their dissertation. A panel discussion concludes the session allowing students to simultaneously inquire about the science and medicine.
