NIH Offers ClinPRAT Training
The NIH Clinical Pharmacology Research Associate Training (ClinPRAT) program is a 3-year postdoctoral research fellowship training program sponsored by the Clinical Center and NIGMS. The program emphasizes laboratory pharmacology, biostatistics, pharmacokinetics and chemistry in the study of drug action in humans. Postdoctoral training positions are available starting July 1, 2005, and in subsequent years. Candidates must have the M.D. degree. In general, they will have completed 3 years of residency training and will be board-eligible in a primary medical specialty when entering the program. Candidates must be U.S. citizens or permanent residents of the United States. Candidates' qualifications are evaluated by the clinical pharmacology steering committee. Selection is highly competitive and preference will be given to applicants with outstanding potential. Most successful candidates either have had Ph.D. degrees in addition to their M.D. degree or substantial prior research experience. ClinPRAT fellows have the opportunity to participate in the NIH General Loan Repayment Program.
