Applicants to the Georgia Clinical & Translational Science Alliance (Georgia CTSA) TL1 program must be from one of the four Georgia CTSA institutions: Emory, Georgia Tech, Morehouse School of Medicine, or University of Georgia. Per NIH requirements, TL1 applicants must be U.S. Citizens or Permanent Residents.

The Georgia CTSA, the NIH-supported Clinical and Translational Science Award TL1 program is focused on providing innovative didactic and mentored research training to individuals interested in careers that encompass clinical and/or translational research. The TL1 program provides an opportunity to complete the Master of Science in Clinical Research or the Certificate Program in Translational Research. The TL1 program supports predoctoral and postdoctoral trainees (medical and PhD students, resident and fellow physicians, PhD postdocs, and PharmD residents).   

Applicants admitted into the TL1 program receive the following:    

  • Stipend: One year of predoctoral or postdoctoral stipend support and health insurance based on the NIH NRSA scale.
  • Tuition: Tuition support for the Emory or Morehouse School of Medicine MSCR program (MSCR coursework begins August 2020). 
  • Travel: A total of $1,000 is provided to each TL1 awardee for travel to the Translational Science Scientific Meeting in Washington, D.C in April 2020 to present their research findings

Predoctoral TL1 program eligibility:

  • Medical students: Medical students at Emory or Morehouse School of Medicine are eligible for TL1 support as part of a dual degree (MD/MSCR) track. Medical student applicants accepted into the TL1 program begin TL1 support and the MSCR program after their year of clinical rotations (i.e., generally after their 3rd year of medical school).
  • PhD graduate students or PharmD students: PhD-level graduate students or Pharm D students may apply for TL1 support to begin the program in the year after passing comprehensive examinations. The TL1 support would provide opportunities to receive dual degrees (PhD/MSCR track or PharmD/MSCR).

Postdoctoral TL1 program eligibility:

  • Physicians in Training (residents and fellows): Postdoctoral physicians, including senior residents and those in fellowship training programs at the Emory University School of Medicine, may apply to the TL1 program at any point in their postdoctoral (residency or fellowship) training.
  • Postdoctoral fellows with PhD, PharmD, or equivalent degrees: PhD postdoctoral fellows and PharmD residents may apply at any point in their postdoctoral training.
