ISCTR-American College of Cardiology Foundation Cardiovascular Translational Research Scholarship

ISCTR-American College of Cardiology Foundation Cardiovascular Translational Research Scholarship sponsored by Dignity Health, St. John's Hospital The purpose of the program is to recognize and provide financial support for research efforts by outstanding cardiovascular scholars. This scholarship is to encourage junior faculty in the early phases of their careers in the field of cardiology. The program is intended for a physician with a strong interest in developing a career in cardiovascular translational research. One year of previous interventional cardiology training is required. The duration of the program is one year. The awardee will develop skills and expertise in translating basic biological and device concepts into clinical application. Goal: The overall goal of the program is to provide the clinical scientist (a physician) with the necessary scientific background that does not exist in today's curriculum. The program will enable the awardee to expedite scientific discovery to clinical application, ultimately benefitting the patient and society by providing science earlier and decreasing the developmental costs related to new devices and/or novel biologic therapies. The program will cover the topics of: • Basic science • Preclinical science • Clinical science and trial design • Regulatory pathways (FDA) for IND (investigational new drug application) and IDE (investigational new device exemption) The...
