The NIAID Transition Program in Clinical Research provides an opportunity for physicians to gain clinical and translational research experience in the NIAID Division of Intramural Research (DIR). The program aims to increase the pool of well-trained clinical investigators who are competitive for clinical tenure-track positions.

Up to three candidates per year will be selected for three- to five-year appointments as assistant clinical investigators. Applicants must have an M.D. or M.D. /Ph.D., be board eligible or board certified in a subspecialty (or equivalent), and qualify for credentialing by the NIH Clinical Center. Applicants should identify a DIR lab chief who will agree to host their research. Information about DIR labs and contact information for lab chiefs is available at www.niaid.nih.gov/about/organization/dir/.  

Applications will be evaluated by a search committee composed of NIAID DIR principal investigators with clinical and basic research interests. Competitive candidates will be asked to present their research accomplishments and plans to the search committee. 

Participants will receive independent resources and staff and will be mentored by an NIAID senior clinical investigator.  

Interested candidates may contact DIR Deputy Director Dr. Karyl Barron at 301-402-2208 or kbarron@nih.gov for additional information or assistance in identifying an appropriate host lab.  

To apply for the program, e-mail curriculum vitae/bibliography, a research program proposal (no more than two pages), and a letter of support from the accepting NIAID lab chief by November 30, 2009 to Ms. Yushekia Hill at NIAID.DIR.Search@niaid.nih.gov. In addition, send three letters of recommendation to Chair, Transition Program in Clinical Research Search Committee, c/o Ms. Yushekia Hill by e-mail at NIAID.DIR.Search@niaid.nih.gov or by post at 10 Center Drive, MSC 1356, Building 10, Room 4A-22, Bethesda, MD 20892-1356.
