Yale Center for Clinical Investigation

About YCCI

In 2004, more than a year before the National Institute of Health (NIH) Clinical and Translational Science Award (CTSA) was announced, Robert J. Alpern, Dean and Ensign Professor of Medicine for the Yale School of Medicine, initiated a strategic planning process to evaluate and further the status of clinical and translational research at the Yale School of Medicine. Two major goals that emerged from the strategic planning process were to expand and centralize the training of the next generation of clinical and translational scientists and to provide a robust infrastructure that would promote innovative and collaborative research directed at improving patient care.

Request for applications for the Fund to Retain Clinical Scientists at the Yale School of Medicine (FRCS)

The goal of this exceptional program is to retain early-career physician-scientists in research. The FRCS Program provides research funds to select junior physician-scientists who have a compelling need for additional resources in order to maintain research productivity in the face of extraordinary caregiving needs. Applicants may request up to $50,000 for a one-year award period.

The due date for full applications is May 13, 2019 by 5:00 pm. Click here for more information and links for submission.
