Overview
The Multidisciplinary Training Program in Child and Adolescent Health (TL1) is an NCATS-funded training program that seeks to promote interactions among both mentors and trainees in pediatrics and engineering to encourage creative thinking and new approaches in child-health research. The goal of the TL1 program is to address the need for well-trained scientists in pediatrics by attracting talented trainees, equipping them with the tools to succeed and retaining their commitment to be independent investigators.
Participants
This program is for clinical fellows, postdoctoral trainees, and doctoral degree students. Eligibility requirements are further outlined on our pre-doctoral and post-doctoral application pages.
