Intramural Research Training Award Student Fellowships, Center for Alzheimer’s and Related Dementias
Category : Student Opportunities
On behalf of the newly formed Center for Alzheimer’s and Related Dementias (CARD) (https://card.nih.gov/) at the National Institutes of Health (NIH), it is our pleasure to inform you about a unique training and career development opportunity. Under a new collaborative fellowship program developed by CARD, qualified candidates will receive a remunerated full-time position to work at CARD while completing coursework to earn a paid MPS degree through partnership between the Foundation for Advanced Education in the Sciences at NIH (FAES) and UMBC. CARD is seeking to recruit a diverse and inclusive candidate pool for several open Intramural Research Training Award (IRTA) Student fellowships across three cohorts. The program aims to increase representation and inclusivity in biomedical data science and train healthcare researchers to grow their data science skills, cultivating the next generation of data science and bioinformatics professionals at CARD. While working at CARD, fellowship awardees will gain foundational knowledge in data analysis and data management through the FAES-UMBC MPS program. The selected candidates will receive collaborative instruction and research performed at CARD with experts in the field. Fellows will have the opportunity to use and refine new skills working with real data curated at CARD. CARD is a collaborative effort and puts a strong emphasis on interdisciplinary research. If you have undergraduates or recent graduates who may be interested in pursuing a MPS in data science while working at NIH, please share this opportunity with them. We invite you to publicize and post about this paid fellowship and share it with related organizations that may be interested in a unique career pathway in biomedical data science.
