CTDS Postdoctoral T32 Training Program
Clinical and Translational Data Science (CTDS) Postdoctoral T32 Training Program
Clinical and Translational Data Science (CTDS) Postdoctoral T32 Training Program
The CTDS postdoctoral T32 training program leverages the large, collaborative and multidisciplinary research environment at Ohio State to expand clinical and translational data science (CTDS) education and training across campus. The program aims to recruit and develop a cohort of trainees to become the next generation of clinical and translational data scientist leaders.
Clinical and translational data science research includes novel data science methodologies that significantly improve the process or efficiency of clinical and translation research, or new data science applications to significant clinical and translational research questions.
The T32 grant provides two years of full-time research training support for postdoctoral trainees. Trainees should expect to work on clinical and translation data science research across one or multiple of four key themes: Biostatistics and Population Health, Translational Genomics, Translational Pharmacology and AI in Digital Health.
The overall goal of the postdoctoral T32 program is to prepare clinical and translational scientists and data scientists to be well equipped to serve as leaders in the burgeoning field of clinical and translational research. Eligible applicants must hold a doctoral degree, such as PhD, MD, PharmD, or equivalent, and be either a U.S. citizen or permanent resident.

The CTDS postdoctoral T32 training program is part of the NIH Ruth L. Kirschstein National Research Service Award (NRSA) program, the goal of which is to help ensure that a pool of highly trained scientists are available in appropriate scientific disciplines to address the nation's biomedical, behavioral and clinical research needs. It is funded through a grant from the NIH National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences (NCATS).
