# Medical Scientist Training Program

> **NIH NIH T32** · UNIVERSITY OF VIRGINIA · 2020 · $744,878

## Abstract

The goal of our Medical Scientist Training Program is to train individuals who will be
both outstanding biomedical scientists and data-driven physicians, pioneering major
advances in medical practice through research. This goal is intimately aligned with a
central mission of The University of Virginia SOM: To conduct outstanding biomedical
research and to pioneer developments in the practice of medicine. Importantly, and in
keeping with the broader career training vision of the NIH for trainees, our long-term
goals for our graduates include training not only future academic researchers,
educators, and administrators but also leaders in other non-traditional careers in the
private or public sector that advance our understanding of human disease, help develop
more effective medical therapies, or affect policy in these areas. The impressive
successes and wide-ranging professional avenues that our alumni have pursued is
testimony to the positive outcomes of this philosophy. We have developed the physical
facilities and infra-structural support necessary to allow our faculty to achieve
international prominence and to make discoveries that advance our understanding of
key cellular processes and mechanisms of disease. In this proposal, we enumerate our
successes and detail our plans to further improve our training of the next generation of
physician-scientists.
