K12 Program - Eligibility Requirements

  • Junior faculty, either currently appointed or new recruits, with clinical professional degrees (MD, DDS, DMD, OD, DO, PharmD, DVM, or DNS/PhD in nursing). Exceptionally promising applicants early in their academic career are particularly encouraged to apply.
  • Prior completion of clinical/patient-oriented research training at least to the level of a master’s degree. This requirement can be met by the UC Davis MCRTP, an MAS program with emphasis on research methods for patient-oriented research, or similar programs offered at other institutions.
  • Development of a multidisciplinary training and research plan.
  • Identification of two well-qualified mentors from diverse fields of investigation.
  • Plans to draw on the resources of the UC Davis CTSC to conduct research and training.
  • Commitment to a career in clinical/patient-oriented research with evidence of significant productivity and promise.
  • Applicants who were highly ranked but unfunded in the initial award cycles are particularly encouraged to apply.
