Description

The Medical Scientist Training Program (MSTP) supports the development of well-trained clinician-scientist leaders to address the nation’s biomedical research needs. It funds eligible domestic organizations to develop and implement dual-degree training and mentoring programs that combine clinical degrees (e.g., M.D., D.O., D.V.M., D.D.S., Pharm.D.) with research doctorate degrees (Ph.D.). The program incorporates didactic, research, mentoring, and career development elements to prepare trainees for impactful health-related research careers. The overall goal aligns with the NIH Ruth L. Kirschstein National Research Service Award (NRSA) program to ensure a pool of highly trained scientists in biomedical, behavioral, and clinical research disciplines.
