TL1 Postdoctoral Program in Clinical Research, Biomedical Informatics, and Health Equity

 

The TL1 Postdoctoral Program in Clinical Research, Biomedical Informatics, and Health Equity is a National Research Service Award (NRSA) funded training program comprising participating degree programs at the University of Chicago, Rush University, and Loyola University Chicago.  The program will prepare postdoctoral trainees with clinical (MD, DNP, PharmD, DMD/DDS, etc.) or research degrees (PhD) with the skills to conduct independent and collaborative research that will transform the science and practice of medicine, improve clinical practice and health outcomes, and advance health toward health equity.

Trainees can be based at any ITM institution and will select one of three training pathways based on their research interests and training needs: 1) Clinical Research Pathway, 2) Medical Informatics Pathway, or 3) Public Health Pathway.  Depending on the selected pathway, trainees will enroll in one of the approved master’s programs listed in the RFA.

Please review the RFA for eligibility criteria. Please note that candidates must be a U.S. citizen or permanent resident to be appointed to the TL1.

Hear it From Them

We want to support students working in any area of translational science that’s emerging or exciting. Sometimes that means direct-to-patient research, but other times it means direct-to-market research, like bringing a new technology to a hospital.
Ellen Cohen, Executive Director of The Center for Health and the Social Sciences (CHeSS), an ITM partner at UChicago where the program is housed.
