Calendar of Training Opportunities

This program is composed of our major translational mentoring and networking programs—SPARK, MedTech, and SPADA—as well as offering pilots in population health and community engagement (see Funding Opportunities). The program identifies and advances high-potential translational projects, “de-risking” their path to implementation in the private sector. It also provides trainees with non-scientific skills necessary for translation (e.g., intellectual property knowledge, market evaluation, regulatory pathways, and financial models).
