Training & YCCI Scholars
One of YCCI’s most important missions is to attract the best and the brightest staff, students, fellows, and junior faculty members to careers in clinical research, and offer them the training necessary to master a daunting array of research approaches and technologies and work effectively within complex teams.
YCCI is committed to training the next generation of clinical and translational researchers by offering robust educational programs that provide the support and expertise young investigators need to launch their careers. This effort has involved crossing boundaries and opening dialogues across the entire university to ensure that tomorrow’s investigators have the tools and training they need to conduct innovative research. One of our most successful initiatives has been the YCCI Scholars program to provide training, research, and salary support to junior faculty members. More than 100 promising investigators have been or are currently YCCI Scholars.
