Program Overview
This six-month training program provides training to University of Maryland, Baltimore (UMB) fellows and faculty in an early stage of their research career who are seeking foundational training in developing and executing a mentored clinical/translational and/or public health research project. Training will include didactic instruction, experiential learning, grant writing training, and a capstone project. Upon completion of the didactic and experiential learning, scholars will have a research protocol for a clinical or public health project that they are executing or will execute under the guidance of a mentor. Lastly, scholars will complete a capstone project that will consist of writing a grant application and participate in a mock study section review. CARTI scholars are required to complete each element of the training schedule, including completion of an individual development plan (IDP) and submission of a grant application within six months of participation.
