The TRIUMPH program is a new post-doctoral fellowship program that will provide training in clinical and translational research for Ph.D.-trained individuals. The immediate goal of this program is to recruit talented, productive, well-trained Ph.D.s and train them through didactic coursework and clinical rotations. This is a 3 year training program that will result in the issuance of a certificate upon successful completion of the program from the University of Texas, Graduate Studies in Biomedical Sciences. Within the first year, the fellows will participate in a series of didactic clinical course work offered through the University of Texas (UT) Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences at Houston (GSBS), MDACC or the UT Medical School. They will also participate in five different clinical rotations while pursuing research in a translational research laboratory. This program also includes a unique mentorship to pursue clinical and translational research. The training that this program provides will produce translational scientists that can be paired with physician scientists to lead unique and well designed translational and clinical research projects.
