KL2 post-doctoral scholar program: These awards focus on developing early-career faculty investigators through a multidisciplinary, mentored research experience. The goal of these awards is to create independent, extramurally funded investigators who are active in programs of multidisciplinary and collaborative research. These awards require a documented commitment of 75 percent protected time for research and career development activities and may provide salary support up to $90,000 annually.

Masters or graduate certificate in clinical and translational research: These degree programs, established by GHUCCTS, help students become well-versed in essential clinical research methods, and in proposing, conducting, managing, and reporting clinical and translational research in an ethically responsible manner.
Available funding
GHUCCTS provides several funding mechanisms for early and senior investigators to address their scientific questions and projects, including the Pilot Translational and Clinical Studies funding opportunity. This supports promotion of interdisciplinary research that will translate basic findings into clinical applications and clinical research findings into community use in order to improve human health.
