Interdisciplinary Training in Cardiovascular Research
The goal of the Interdisciplinary Training in Cardiovascular Research program at the University of Arizona is to train the next generation of scientists to actively and independently pursue heart, vascular and lung research in academic, industrial and government settings. Keeping a core of translational cardiovascular and pulmonary (CVP) physiology established by this T32 over 45 years, the CVP Program coupled with institutional support is critically positioned deliver a contemporary didactic experience in physiological CVP research, applied research skills, and professional development in multiple career options, including opportunities to address the modern-era of data-driven research. We offer 7 predoctoral and 4 postdoctoral positions that are fully funded and includes travel, tuition, health insurance and other training related expenses. PI is Physiology Faculty member Dr. John Konhilas.
Computational and mathematical modeling of biomedical systems
The long-running NIH T32 training grant program in Computational and Mathematical Modeling of Biological Systems has been renewed for five more years, with funding for eight students per year. Following Tim Secomb's leadership and retirement, the new PIs are Ryan Gutenkunst, Joanna Masel, and Travis Wheeler.
Translational Research in Alzheimer's Disease and related Dementias (TRADD)
The University of Arizona (UArizona) Training Program to Advance Translational Research on Alzheimer's Disease and AD Related Dementias (AZ-TRADD) is designed to address knowledge and experience gaps in AD therapeutic discovery and preclinical translational development.
Physiology Faculty participate in this Training Grant.
PI is Dr. Robbie Brinton
Interdisciplinary Training in Diabetes and Metabolism Research
The Diabetes Research Training Program (DRTP) is a T32 Ruth L. Kirschstein Institutional National Research Service Award from the National Institute of Health. The DRTP will provide trainees in both Tucson and Phoenix, across UA, ASU, and NIDDK, with opportunities to address diabetes research projects by delivering a contemporary and collaborative didactic research experience and professional development to train and mentor the next generation of diabetes researchers.
