Federal Grant Award Summary

New York University School of Medicine received a $462,079 Project Grant from the National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences (NCATS) (CFDA 93.350) awarded September 1, 2026, through August 31, 2031. The NYU Clinical and Translational Science Institute (CTSI) T32 Postdoctoral Training Program directly supports NCATS' mission to accelerate the translation of scientific discoveries into improved healthcare outcomes by developing the next generation of interdisciplinary translational science leaders. The program delivers rigorous, team-based training across preclinical research, clinical research, clinical implementation, and public health domains, with emphasis on personalized individual development plans that balance deep domain expertise with broad translational science ecosystem knowledge.

The program provides structured training across three core themes—career development, communication skills, and supportive community—to equip postdoctoral scholars with knowledge, abilities, and leadership capabilities necessary to lead interdisciplinary teams. Key deliverables include scholar development through mentoring plans, publication outputs, leadership development course completion, and grant proposal preparation. Measurable outcomes center on postdoctoral scholars obtaining research-based positions and successfully submitting grant proposals upon program completion. The training initiative remains the only university-wide postdoctoral fellowship award open to all relevant schools and departments across NYU, enabling recruitment of a diverse trainee cohort committed to advancing translational science innovation and scientific rigor.
