The NIH has launched a program to provide medical doctors with funding for patient-focused, clinical research projects. The goal of the new program is to bridge the widening gap between cutting-edge research and improved patient care.
The Lasker Clinical Research Scholars Program is a joint program with Albert and Mary Lasker Foundation and will enable exceptional clinical researchers in the early stages of their careers to spend 5 to 7 years at the NIH Clinical Center in Bethesda, Md. After successful completion of the first stage of the program, the scholars would be offered the opportunity to remain at the NIH as senior clinical research scientists or to apply for up to 4 years of independent financial support at a university or other external research institution.
