FUNDED SHORT TERM TRAINING OPPORTUNITY FROM THE MAILMAN SCHOOL OF PUBLIC HEALTH, THE IRVING INSTITUTE AND THE COLUMBIA SUMMER RESEARCH INSTITUTE (CSRI)
The PRIDE program (funded by NHLBI) seeks to recruit and train junior scientists who can improve public health and reduce health disparities throughout the nation. Recognizing the urgent and compelling need to promote diversity, the PRIDE award will provide rigorous training and mentoring opportunities to junior faculty members from diverse backgrounds, and equip them with the essential skills needed to conduct comparative effectiveness research and address some of the most complex health problems facing us today.
The key elements of this program include:
- Introduction to landmark research topics in heart, lung, blood, and sleep research
- Rigorous training in CER methods and responsible conduct of research
- An ongoing, structured mentorship experience
- Opportunities for interactions with existing programs at Columbia for mutual support
