> **NIH NIH T35** · YALE UNIVERSITY · 2020 · $255,053

## Abstract

HL07649, Forrest
Project Summary/Abstract
The Yale University School of Medicine has a long tradition and record of accomplishments in
the training of medical students for careers in academic medicine and research. This application
is a competitive renewal of a training grant (Short-Term Training: Students in Health
Professional Schools) first awarded to the School in 1987-88 and now in its 29th year. The
purpose of the renewal is to provide intensive short-term training in research for selected pre-
doctoral medical students in the most outstanding laboratories and training sites in the Yale
University School of Medicine. The specific laboratory experiences will range from fundamental
molecular biology, cellular and organ physiology to applied clinical research in cardiovascular
and pulmonary disease. The program is designed to attract the most highly qualified Yale
medical students into careers as physician-scientists in the biomedical sciences. An extensive
follow-up documents a high level of subsequent research training, research productivity, and
faculty appointments (40.15%) among previously supported students.
Trainees will be chosen upon application of pre-doctoral medical students who have completed
in good standing one year of the curriculum of the Yale University School of Medicine. Thirty-
two students per year will be selected competitively for this short-term training support on the
basis of the quality of a formal written proposal of the planned research and the quality of the
mentor and the training environment.
The participating departments and sections will include: anesthesiology, biomedical
engineering, cell biology, cellular and molecular physiology, child study center, dermatology,
emergency medicine, genetics, immunobiology, internal medicine (allergy & clinical
immunology, cardiovascular, digestive diseases, endocrinology, general medicine, geriatrics,
infectious disease, nephrology, pulmonary, rheumatology), laboratory medicine, molecular
biophysics and biochemistry, neurology, neurosurgery, obstetrics & gynecology, orthopaedics &
rehabilitation, pathology, pediatrics, pharmacology, psychiatry, surgery and therapeutic
radiology, and related interdisciplinary programs.
