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.

YCCI announces a 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.

A letter of intent is required and is due by 5:00 pm on June 30, 2018. The due date for full applications is July 16, 2018 by 5:00 pm. Click here for more information and links for submission.

CTSA SPIRiT Call for Proposals

SPIRiT, the Sharing Partnership for Innovative Research in Translation, is pleased to announce a new funding program that supports pilot research projects representing collaborations between investigators from at least two of the SPIRiT sites. The SPIRiT Consortium members supporting this program include Johns Hopkins University, University of Chicago, University of Pennsylvania, University of Pittsburgh, Washington University in St. Louis, and Yale University – all members of the NIH Clinical and Translational Science Award (CTSA) Program. Applications are open and due November 30, 2018. For more information visit our SPIRiT page.
