About the Program

The program aims to train the next generation of clinical and translational researchers to conduct rigorous and reproducible science and prepare mentored career development award (CDA) applications that will ultimately advance health in Rhode Island and beyond. Advance-K Scholars will follow a common curriculum of clinical and translational research competencies, grantsmanship, and professional development, along with a customized set of activities to meet individual learning goals.

Advance-K Scholars are required to participate in 2-hour, bi-weekly training sessions on Wednesdays (3 – 5 p.m.) throughout the duration of the year-long program. Each Scholar will enhance the skills specific to his/her research and career development through an individualized learning plan.

By the completion of the program, Scholars will have prepared and submitted an application for individual funding (K01, K08, K23, or CDAs from the VA or foundations).
