The CTSC Workforce Development Program for Clinical Research Professionals (both faculty and staff) is committed to developing the next generation of independent, highly successful academic faculty, study teams and clinical research professionals, thereby advancing UC Davis Schools of Health. This includes efforts to reorient the culture of the institution to support promotion through team science participation and enhance quality mentoring in the human health sciences. By administering K12 and T32 grants and other education and training programs, the CTSC supports research education and training on the institutional level.
The CTSC hosts a wealth of opportunities for workforce training and education for pre- and postdoctoral personnel involved in translational research in addition to introductory and foundational training for clinical research staff professionals. A comprehensive approach to translational research training offers scholars a rich array of career development opportunities through program curricula, mentored research training, and partnerships with other programs, departments, and institutions. Scholars include clinical and translational researchers at multiple career stages – graduate, medical and veterinary students, postdoctoral and clinical fellows, and junior faculty – and represent numerous departments, disciplines, graduate groups, schools, and colleges throughout UC Davis.
