# Wisconsin Allergy Research Training (WISCART) Program

> **NIH NIH T32** · UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN-MADISON · 2021 · $246,023

## Abstract

The goal of the Wisconsin Allergy Research Training (WiscART) program is to provide research
training for postdoctoral fellows in Allergy and Immunology to prepare trainees for careers as
independent academic research scientists. Objectives to achieve this goal include helping
trainees to establish a high quality and productive research project related to
allergy/immunology, and developing abilities in leadership and education. There are generally 4-
6 Allergy/Immunology fellows in the UW program, and 4 fellows supported by the WiscART
program. The trainees are post-doctoral students, or physicians who have completed residency
training in either Pediatrics or Internal Medicine. For physicians, the Departments of Medicine
and Pediatrics leverage the T32 funds by providing funds for salary support and stipends for
additional training years not covered by WiscART. The WiscART trainers are a diverse group of
clinical, translational and basic scientists, and there are an exceptional number of opportunities
for trainee research projects. Training by traditional scientific and career mentorship is
supplemented by exceptional educational programs offered by the University of Wisconsin
CTSA (Institute for Clinical and Translational Research), including optional advanced degree
and certificate programs in clinical research. Program accomplishments include high rates of
recruitment and participation by underrepresented minorities and women, and a 61% rate of
fellows pursuing academic careers upon graduation from WiscART.
