The ITHS TL1 program is a one-year mentored research training program in translational science for predoctoral students sponsored by the National Institutes of Health (NIH). This program creates a cross-disciplinary community of emerging researchers and provides them with specific training, career development opportunities, and team science skills to help them function effectively within translational science teams. It's open to graduate students from all disciplines and backgrounds who meet the eligibility criteria. The TL1 program is open to Montana State University and the University of Washington grad students. MSU's Blake Wiedenheft, PhD, Department of Microbiology and Cell Biology, is one of the co-directors of the program. 

Anyone interested is encouraged to apply. If you are looking for an opportunity to obtain mentorship, interdisciplinary interaction and focused training, and to become a successful translational researcher, then this program is for you.
