We are pleased to announce the Georgetown-Howard Universities Center for Clinical and Translational Science (GHUCCTS) 2026 Postdoctoral Fellow T32 Translational Biomedical Science Research Program, which we anticipate beginning in early fall 2026. Applications are due on August 31, 2026; however, submit a Letter of Intent as soon as possible to receive helpful feedback before the full application is due.
The goal of the GHUCCTS TBS program is to prepare postdoctoral fellows to become the next generation of leaders in clinical and translational research and science. Fellows with professional doctoral degrees including PhD, MD, DMD, DO, DVM, PharmD OD, DPM, ScD, EngD, DrPH, DNSc, DPT, PsyD or doctoral degrees in nursing are eligible to apply. Trainees are taught how to build and lead transdisciplinary collaborative research programs through engaging in dual-mentored training experiences in preclinical and clinical research. Trainees receive didactic education in human health and disease that takes advantage of existing courses, seminars, and workshops through GHUCCTS-sponsored activities and training programs, including the master’s program in Clinical and Translational Science. Fellows are also trained in: human subject research methodology & bioethics; grant writing & peer review; community engagement & team science; negotiation & networking; and other career enhancement skills that are tailored to the individual trainee's Career Development Plan.
The TBS Program supplements on-going research by postdoctoral fellows at GHUCCTS institutions including GU, HU and MHRI who are interested in complementing their discipline-specific training with additional training in translational biomedical science. Applications that propose trans-, inter-, or multi-disciplinary and collaborative research projects, within the T1-T4 translational research continuum will be considered. We anticipate funding up to 4 postdoctoral fellows with an anticipated start date of early fall 2026. For further details regarding the TBS Program, visit our website.
