Research Resources
The Department of Medicine cultivates early career development to build the foundation for continuous faculty research and is committed to the success of all research faculty. This page offers a listing of some of the many resources and opportunities available to support researchers.
Career Development Support
The Department of Medicine supports junior investigators pursuing an independent research career and the grant support that makes it possible.
K-level Writing Group
Interns, residents and subspecialty fellows who are doing research with an established mentor can gain coordinated access to funded research by working with our K-level Grant Writing Group, led by
Laura Loehr, MD, PhD, MS, and Susan Hogan, PhD, MPH.
R-level Grant Writing Groups – Basic Science
R-level grant awards support researchers on the path to becoming principal investigators, who have enough data to merit a robust award. For candidates who are preparing their first R01, Janet Rubin, MD, and Alex Duncan, MD, PhD, lead the Department’s R-Level Grant Writing Group in basic science.
R-level Grant Writing Group – Patient and Population Health
Darren DeWalt, MD, MPH, and Carol Golin, MD, lead the Department’s R-Level Grant Writing Group in patient and population health, fostering research related to etiologic epidemiology, health outcomes, patterns of health determinants, and associated policies and interventions.
Physician-Scientist Training Program
The Department’s Physician-Scientist Training Program (PSTP) recruits and trains young physicians who intend to pursue academic careers devoted to medical research. The program allows candidates with significant research experience (PhD, MPH, or equivalent research background) to complete Internal Medicine residency, fellowship, and postdoctoral research training via the ABIM Research Pathway.
