UMB ICTR

The Research Career Development (RCD) Program offers workshops, classes, and seminars in subjects that are crucial to an academic research career, including Grant Writing, Publishing Your Research, and Identifying Funding Sources for Your Research. In addition, the RCD Program offers symposia in Scientific Leadership and Professional Development. Services are open to the entire campus!

In addition to the workshops and services currently offered, several new workshops are being developed.

Please check back with this website frequently to see announcements of these new training opportunities. The RCD Program also co-sponsors events with the Office of Postdoctoral Scholars.

The Pharmaceutical Health Services Research (PHSR) Center at the University of Maryland School of Pharmacy provides UMB faculty, postdoctoral fellows, graduate students, and other researchers customized SAS programming, data cleaning, and file preparation workshops. Our team can assist researchers from all health disciplines. For more information, contact 410-706-5315 or prc@rx.umaryland.edu. 

Education and Training for Clinical Investigators: The goal of this program is to provide education and training in clinical and translational research for clinicians and scientists.

Certificate Program in Clinical Research: This 12-credit certificate program in clinical research will provide training in the core competencies of clinical research, including study design, biostatistics, data management, scientific communication, and the ethical, legal and, regulatory issues in clinical research.

Master of Science in Clinical Research is a track in the Master of Science program in Epidemiology. It is designed specifically to meet the needs of the clinician or clinician-in-training by providing a combination of coursework and research experiences needed for a successful career in clinical investigation.

Master of Science in Pharmaceutical Health Services Research (PHSR): Core graduate courses include pharmaceutical health services research, research methods, and statistics.   

Center for Translational Medicine Postdoctoral Training: Graduates from a variety of backgrounds related to medicine, statistics, engineering, pharmacy, and pharmaceutical sciences can benefit from postdoctoral training in quantitative translational medicine and pharmacometrics. Training will be tailored to meet individual needs. 

Summer Short Course: Introduction to Clinical and Translational Research at UMB: The Department of Epidemiology and Public Health is pleased to sponsor the 16th annual Introduction to Clinical and Translational Research Course at UMB. This course is open to all faculty, fellows, residents, students, and staff with an interest in clinical and translational research at UMB.
