This individualized program will include core coursework in translational science and a practicum in the scholar&#8217;s field of study. In this way, <em>TST T32 Trainees<\/em> will gain a firsthand appreciation of the relationship of different types of research within the translational science spectrum. Additionally, they will gain important skills required to work with interdisciplinary teams in the conduct of translational investigations. The TST T32 Program is made possible through a grant from the National Institutes of Health\/National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences (NIH\/NCATS). The TST T32 is a component of the Clinical and Translational Science Award (CTSA) administered by the Institute for the Integration of Medicine and Science (IIMS) at UT Health San Antonio.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\"><strong><u>Eligibility<\/u>\u00a0&#8211;\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong>Qualified Applicants are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: left\">Either enrolled as a full-time predoctoral graduate student or a predoctoral health professions student taking a year out for research at UT Health San Antonio<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: left\">Is a U.S. citizen or permanent resident<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: left\">Has selected a Research Supervising Professor\/Mentor<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: left\">Can apply the concepts of translational science to their research project<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css_animation=&#8221;none&#8221; css=&#8221;&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"rtecenter\" style=\"text-align: left\"><strong>For more information, please see links below for TST T32 Frequently Asked Questions.<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><strong>TST T32 Mission Statement<\/strong><br \/>\nTranslational science (TS) encompasses all areas and disciplines of health sciences spanning preclinical, clinical, clinical implementation, public health research and policy-making.
