Three outstanding early-career investigators have been selected as recipients of the 2016 SYNERGY Scholars Mentored Career Development Award, funded through Dartmouth SYNERGY Clinical and Translational Science Institute.<\/p>\n

Dartmouth SYNERGY Scholars is an ongoing Mentored Career Development Program, modeled on the NIH KL2 Scholars Program. SYNERGY Scholars Program aims to develop early-career investigators involved in clinical and translational research by combining didactic training, mentoring, exposure to multidisciplinary research, and ongoing evaluation to prepare junior investigators for careers in Clinical and Translational Research.<\/p>\n

The selected scholars are chosen by a panel of senior scientists through a rigorous peer-review process. Each award involves two or more mentors who will collaborate with the scholar and oversee her\/his progress in patient-oriented research; the mentors chosen reflect the disciplines needed to gain independence in the proposed area of research.<\/p>\n
