The Clinical Research Training Center Predoctoral Program provides career development for medical and allied healthcare students through didactic coursework, mentored training, work-in-progress research discussions, journal clubs and conferences.

The Clinical Research Training Center is supported by Grant Numbers UL1RR024992, KL2RR024994, and TL1RR024995, Washington University Institute of Clinical and Translational Sciences (ICTS).  The ICTS is one of 24 medical research institutions working together as a national consortium to improve the way biomedical research is conducted across the country. The consortium, funded through the Clinical and Translational Science Awards (CTSA), shares a common vision to reduce the time it takes for laboratory discoveries to become treatments for patients, and to engage communities in clinical research efforts. It is also fulfilling the critical need to train the next generation of clinical researchers. The CTSA initiative is led by the National Center for Research Resources at the National Institutes of Health.
