Resident Research Opportunities
Clinical Neuroscientist Training Program (CNSTP)
All residents in the Neurology Residency Program at Yale are encouraged to engage in research and other academic pursuits. For those who are interested in making research a major component of their academic career, we have a NIH-funded R25 program, the Yale Clinical Neuroscientist Training Program (CNSTP). The CNSTP allows up to 24 months of protected research time, with up to 9 months completed during residency (including up to 6 months of consecutive, uninterrupted research time during the PGY4 year) and the remainder completed during post-residency research fellowship. 6-12 weeks of research time can also be offered during the PGY1 year, provided residents have identified a research mentor and have outlined specific research objectives.
Note: As of the 2020-21 Residency Match season, we will be merging our two resident research tracks, and we will not offer separate research positions through the Yale Investigative Neurology Program in the match. This allows us to offer the full range of research opportunities and support to all interested residents through the the Clinical Neuroscientist Training Program (CNSTP).
Candidates for the CNSTP are selected at the beginning of the PGY3 year. Proposals from these candidates are submitted to NIH in October of the PGY3 year for final determination of funding.
