Project Grant T32TR005739

The National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences at the National Institutes of Health awarded Georgetown University $206,908 on September 1, 2026, under the CTSA Postdoctoral T32 Program (CFDA 93.350) to support a two-year translational biomedical science training program for postdoctoral fellows.

Georgetown University leads the Georgetown-Howard Universities Center for Clinical and Translational Sciences (GHUCCTS), a multi-institutional partnership also comprising Howard University, MedStar Health Research Institute, the Washington DC Veterans Administration Medical Center, and Oak Ridge National Laboratory. The award funds postdoctoral training in clinical and translational research skills for fellows recruited from Georgetown University, Howard University, MedStar Health Research Institute, and the DC VA Medical Center. The program builds on a ten-year track record: prior cohorts of 24 postdoctoral alumni produced 141 publications (55 as first author), 74 talks, 112 poster presentations, and 26 extramural grants, with 96 percent remaining in clinical and translational research and related fields.

Performance occurs in Washington, DC. The award period runs through August 31, 2031. As a Project Grant under the National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences' mission to accelerate the translational research pipeline and speed delivery of new diagnostics and therapeutics to patients, the funding supports workforce development in translational biomedical science within the GHUCCTS partnership network.
