An exciting new masters program was developed last year to further training of faculty interested in pursuing a career in clinical and translational research and moving on to independent funding. The program was created in accordance with the new directions the National Institutes for Health are taking in funding research and in support of the recent submission of a $48-million proposal to NIH to fund the UNM HSC Clinical and Translational Science Center.
The program - a Masters of Science in Biomedical Research with a Concentration in Clinical Research (MS-BIOMED-CR), has just completed a very successful first semester with its first cohort of students, and has moved into the second semester.
