The National Institutes of Health (NIH) National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences (NCATS) awarded a $710,004 Project Grant (CFDA #93.350) to Northwestern University to support the "Equitable Translational Science to Accelerate Impact of New Innovations (E-TRAIN)" postdoctoral training program. This 5-year program aims to catalyze the careers of postdoctoral scientists by expanding their domain expertise through mentored research and developing their skills in cross-disciplinary team science to accelerate the development, validation, and dissemination of new health innovations. The program emphasizes inclusive excellence, equitable and anti-racist study design, and strategies to advance biomedical innovations from discovery to implementation and long-term sustainability. Key program elements include trainee-centric career development tools, a novel co-mentoring approach integrating implementation science, and multi-modal seminars to build essential translational science knowledge and skills. Northwestern University will leverage its interdisciplinary research capabilities and experienced faculty to provide trainees with an unparalleled experience in transdisciplinary team science.
