Resident Fellowship
R38 Stanford Integrated Cardiovascular/
Pulmonary Residency Research Training Program
A Multidisciplinary NIH/NHLBI Resident Training Program
Program Overview
The R38 StARR (Stimulating Access to Research in Residency) program is funded by the NHLBI of the NIH. The program is designed to recruit and train resident-investigators in cardio-pulmonary research and to accelerate their development into independent clinician-investigators. This program is designed for individuals who have completed a significant portion of their clinical training (~2 years) and have developed a clinical and research focus. Residents will primarily be selected from Stanford residency programs, but we also encourage residents at other institutions to apply. During the StARR program, clinical responsibilities are less than 20% of time, per NIH requirements
