Translational Science Training Program Boot Camp - March 18 and 19, 2013

 The Translation Science Training Program is an exciting opportunity for NIH Intramural Postdoctoral Fellows and Graduate Students to learn more about the bench-to-bedside process. The TSTP course is an innovative training program that, in one course, intertwines interdisciplinary scientific content, understanding of the drug development process, professional skills development, clinical trial terminology, and career exploration.
The program will be held over two full days, in a "boot camp" format, from 8am to 5pm each day.  The boot camp is limited to 30 participants and admission will be granted through an competitive application process.  To learn more about the TSTP boot camp and how to apply, please visit: https://www.training.nih.gov/tstp_2013 

Intramural aids research fellowship - call for applications

Are you looking for an opportunity to gain experience in grant writing while competing for an intramural funding award?  The Intramural AIDS Research Fellowship (IARF) program is a collaborative effort of the Office of AIDS Research, the Office of Intramural Training & Education, and the Office of Intramural Research, designed to further cross disciplinary research into HIV and AIDS at the NIH. The aim of the program is to recruit graduate students and postdoctoral researchers from all scientific disciplines to the broad field of AIDS research and to provide a grant-writing opportunity for intramural fellows whose work can be directly related to HIV and AIDS.   The fellowship is open to all GPP students and post-doctoral fellows who are part of the intramural research program at NIH.  There are no citizenship requirements.  Awardees will be individuals who show outstanding scientific potential through both an imaginative and thoughtful research plan and a well thought out career development plan.  You can read more about the program at https://www.training.nih.gov/aids_fellowship_home.  Please note: the deadline for applications is March 1, 2013.

NHGRI/ASHG Science Policy fellowship

The National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) and the American Society of Human Genetics (ASHG) are now accepting applications for the 2013 Genetics and Public Policy Fellowship.  The fellowship is designed as a bridge for genetics professionals wishing to transition to a policy career. This unique fellowship provides three separate types of policy experience: within NHGRI's policy branch; on Capitol Hill serving elected officials in the Legislative Branch; and at ASHG in the non-profit science advocacy sector.  Please visit http://www.genome.gov/10003979 to learn about the fellowship and how to apply. NHGRI and ASHG will accept applications submitted by April 22, 2013.

POSTDOCTORAL RESEARCH ASSOCIATE (PRAT) PROGRAM

Application Deadline (for positions starting in Fall 2013): February 27 The longstanding NIGMS PRAT Program is a competitive postdoctoral fellowship program to fund research in one of NIH's or FDA's laboratories. NIGMS oversees and funds the PRAT fellows.  The program was initiated to address a national need for well-trained pharmacologists and continues to train fellows in emerging research areas. For the next three years (2013-2015), these areas are quantitative and systems pharmacology (QSP) and computational biology.  The overall theme of the postdoctoral research project proposed by a PRAT candidate may be in a variety of subject areas, but the focus of the research conducted during the PRAT fellowship should fall within the definition of QSP and/or computational biology. QSP is an approach to translational medicine that combines computational and experimental methods to elucidate, validate, and apply new pharmacological concepts to the development and use of small-molecule and biologic drugs. Computational biology is the development and application of data-analysis and theoretical methods, mathematical modeling, and computational simulation techniques to the study of biological, behavioral, and social systems. For more information or application materials, visit http://www.nigms.nih.gov/Training/PRAT.htm or contact the PRAT program assistant (301-594-3583 or prat@nigms.nih.gov
