The Yale Center for Clinical Investigation (YCCI) has announced a request for applications for several awards:
- YCCI Scholar Awards and OPSSD Yale Physician-Scientist Development Awards
- YCCI Multidisciplinary Post-Doctoral Training Program
- YCCI Multidisciplinary Pre-Doctoral Training Program
We are pleased to announce a request for applications for the YCCI Scholar Awards and OPSSD Yale Physician-Scientist Development Awards, which provide salary and/or research funds to a select number of junior faculty members who are strongly committed to research careers focused on improving human health.
The YCCI Scholar program and OPSSD Yale Physician-Scientist Development Awards are open to all applicants training and conducting research across the full span (T0-T4) of basic, clinical, translational, and community-based research focused on human health. Individuals must be nominated by a department chair, division head/section chief, or center/program director. The primary aim of these awards is to prepare the applicant for a successful independent research career, so career development and mentoring plans are very important.
Awards will be for a total of two years. Funds may be requested to cover up to 75% of an individual’s salary (with a maximum of $120,000 per year, including fringe benefits) and up to $25,000 of research support per year. Applicants who have an active career development award are not eligible for salary support but may apply for up to $25,000 in research support per year (the specific aims of this additional research support must be different from the specific aims of the career development award, though they can be related). Applicants who have substantial start-up funds may not be eligible for salary support; this will be determined at the time of the award. Applications will be reviewed based on the following criteria: the candidate, the career development and mentoring plan, the mentors, the research plan (innovation, significance, and approach), the environment and departmental commitment, and whether the application targets one of the areas of special emphasis.
Please see the YCCI website for a complete description of the requirements and the application materials.
For questions about the application process and eligibility, please contact Christine Costantino.
For questions related to the science of the project, please contact Drs. Lloyd Cantley, Eugene Shapiro, E. Jennifer Edelman, or Chyrell Bellamy.
The Multidisciplinary Post-Doctoral Training Program in Translational Research will provide an opportunity for Yale post-doctoral trainees in the Schools of Medicine, Nursing, Public Health, Engineering and Applied Science or other appropriate departments in the graduate school to receive up to two years of support for training across the full span of clinical and translational research focused on human health.
The Multidisciplinary Post-Doctoral Training Program in Translational Research seeks to support a representative and diverse group of outstanding trainees who specifically want to pursue careers in clinical and translational research; to train them in the use of state-of-the-art research tools; to enhance their abilities to work collaboratively in complex multidisciplinary research teams; to provide outstanding mentoring (including concordant mentoring) by experienced and diverse faculty that support the trainee’s long-term professional development.
