Relationship to Other Training Opportunities Available Through Harvard Catalyst and Affiliated Institutions

Other introductory courses on clinical research can be found at some Harvard Catalyst-affiliated institutions (BWH, CHB, MGH).

Introductory courses in clinical investigation are designed to stimulate interest in clinical and translational research and encourage further study in the following:

• Intensive Training in Translational Medicine, a two-week course designed to give attendees a rich foundation in the experience of bringing an idea from the laboratory to first-in-human trials (so-called T1 translational research), with a focus on the principles and practices of translational medicine as they apply to the development of a new drug, device, or biomarker.
• A portfolio of advanced courses available at multiple sites across the extended Harvard campus. This portfolio covers a broad range of topics and is accessible via a searchable catalog on the Harvard Catalyst website, and will be updated on a regular basis.
• A multiyear, in-depth career experience through one of the Masters' programs or the KL2 Medical Research Investigator Training (MeRIT) Program:
  • Biomedical Informatics Research Training Program
  • Biostatistics Training at Harvard School of Public Health
  • Clinical Investigator Training Program (CITP)
