Overview

The broad goal of the Medical Scientist Training Program (MSTP) is to develop a diverse and highly trained group of physician-scientist leaders capable of advancing the biomedical research agenda of the nation. This grant supports dual-degree training programs at domestic institutions, leading to both a professional medical degree and a Ph.D. or equivalent. It aims to enhance the efficacy and efficiency of the MSTP training, promote the retention of alumni in research careers, and improve the diversity of the physician-scientist workforce. The MSTP emphasizes the integration of rigorous scientific research with clinical practice, preparing graduates to lead biomedical research and improve understanding, detection, treatment, and prevention of human diseases. The program is particularly interested in optimizing training outcomes, fostering graduates' research career persistence, and bolstering workforce diversity. It expects proposed training programs to include didactic learning, research, mentoring, and career development components designed to prepare trainees for impactful careers in health-related research.
