THE HARVARD CATALYST PROGRAM FOR FACULTY DEVELOPMENT AND DIVERSITY

PROGRAM FOR COLLEGE STUDENTS:

SUMMER CLINICAL AND TRANSLATIONAL RESEARCH PROGRAM (SCTRP)

The Summer Clinical and Translational Research Program (SCTRP) is a ten-week mentored, summer research program designed to enrich the pipeline of college students' understanding of and interest in pursuing clinical and/or translational research, as well as to increase underrepresented minority and disadvantaged college student exposure to clinical/translational research.

In addition to mentored clinical/translational research experience, SCTRP students will participate in weekly seminars with Harvard faculty and graduate students focusing on topics such as research methodology, health disparities, ethics, career paths, and the graduate school and medical school application process. Participants will also have the opportunity to participate in offerings of other Harvard Medical School programs such as career development seminars and networking dinners.
