K30 Clinical Research Curriculum Award (CRCA)

For the purpose of this award, clinical research includes: patient-oriented research, epidemiologic and behavioral studies, and outcomes or health services research. The NIH defines patient-oriented research as research conducted with human subjects (or on material of human origin such as tissues, specimens, and cognitive phenomena) that requires direct interactions with human subjects. Patient-oriented research includes study of the disease, therapeutic interventions, and clinical trials. For updated information about the K30 award, please see the NIH Guide Notice of July 1, 2003

The CRCA is a trans-NIH effort that is administered by the National Center for Research Resources (NCRR) .
Its development is informed by the NIH Roadmap for Biomedical Research and the Clinical and Translational Science Awards Program .

T32 Predoctoral Interdisciplinary Clinical Research Training Program (PICRT)

The Predoctoral Interdisciplinary Clinical Research Training Program provides career development for medical and allied healthcare students through didactic coursework, mentored training, work-in-progress research discussions and journal clubs and conferences.

In September 2007, Washington University School of Medicine (WUSM) received a five-year, Clinical and Translational Science Award from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) . One aim of this award is to promote clinical research training among predoctoral allied healthcare students, create an efficient entry for interested students into a variety of clinical research careers and allow flexibility to develop novel and unique programs.

              To this end, Washington University is offering the Predoctoral Interdisciplinary Clinical Research Training (PICRT) Program to students in medicine, physical therapy, occupational therapy, biomedical engineering, social work, pharmacy, and audiology and communication sciences, who wish to pursue academic careers in clinical research.
