Abstract
This T32 training program, which is closely associated with the University of Minnesota adult
infectious diseases physician fellowship program, is designed to prepare MD, MD/PhD, and other post-
doctoral trainees for successful careers as clinical, epidemiological, and translational investigators in
infectious diseases. There is a focus on emerging / reemerging infections, HIV, and infections of
worldwide significance. The program has 4 post-doctoral slots per year and on average accepts 2 new
trainees annually, usually following an initial year of clinical infectious diseases training. Trainees
undergo a 2-to-3 year intensive research experience, supervised by one or more of 27 expert faculty
mentors who represent diverse disciplines and departments within the Medical School, School of Public
Health, College of Pharmacy, and College of Veterinary Medicine.
Trainees participate in didactics (including in Responsible Conduct of Research, biostatistics, and
grant-writing), a journal club, and a research conference series, plus local, regional, and national
infectious diseases conferences. Trainees can obtain an MS-Clinical Research degree or an MPH in
epidemiology, can take individual courses within the School of Public Health, and can take a Global
Health course that qualifies them to sit for the American Society of Tropical Medicine & Hygiene
(ASTMH) certificate examination in Tropical Medicine (CTropMed). Oversight of trainee progress is by
the Program Director and a Scholarship Oversight Committee, which meets semiannually with each
trainee. Trainee selection and program governance are by the Program Director and a Steering /
Selection Committee. Continuous program improvement is guided by feedback from current and former
trainees, the Scholarship Oversight Committee, and an External Advisory Committee.
Of the 47 total T32 trainees to date, five fellows still are in training, and of the program's 42
graduates, 21 (50%) now have research-intensive careers with ≥75% research effort; another 12 (29%)
have research-related careers with 74% (31/42) having an academic appointment. Overall, 12 (29%)
have been awarded NIH K Career Development Award (CDAs), VA CDAs, or a Foundation CDA, and 9
(21%) graduates have R01, U01, CDC, VA Merit, VA Cooperative Studies Program awards as the PI
with another 3 (7%) being PIs of R21s and 2 having R01s under review. Overall, 29% (n=12) are
current PIs of a federal research award. Four T32 graduates work in public health for State health
departments or CDC. Program graduates have disseminated to 11 states.
