    • Ph.D. in Clinical Investigation (PCI)

      The Ph.D. in Clinical Investigation provides rigorous advanced training that prepares you for an indepenedent research career in clinical and translational science.

      • The Einstein-Montefiore PCI track can prepare you to conduct research that will improve the health and welfare of society using clinical and translational research methodology.
      • PCI is offered for Ph.D. students enrolled in Einstein's graduate division and for M.D./Ph.D. students in Einstein's Medical Scientist Training Program (MSTP).

      MS in Clinical Research Methods (CRTP)

      The Master of Science (MS) in Clinical Research Methods is attained through the Clinical Research Training Program (CRTP). This intensive two-year program is designed for those pursuing a career in investigator-initiated, hypothesis-driven clinical research. CRTP scholars are drawn from all of Einstein's medical specialties and subspecialties, including those interested in clinical investigation across the entire translational research spectrum, from mechanistic studies to population-based and health services research. The comprehensive program combines didactic learning and coursework with a mentored research experience.

  • Community Engagement

 

Community Engagement Core

The Community Engagement Core ensures that community engagement occurs across the full spectrum of clinical and translational research. The Core is also closely allied with the Health Research Implementation Core to enhance community engagement with research that impacts health care. The Core works with The Bronx Health Link (TBHL) to expand collaborations and engagement with the Bronx community and healthcare partners. It helps advance life span, child health, and aging research across genders and special populations, by working with the Bronx Community Research Review Board (BxCRRB).

The goals of the Community and Stakeholder Engagement core are to:

Group 1
  1. Provide Community Engagement expertise for established and new investigators and research teams at Montefiore Einstein
  2. Collaborate with the BxCRRB to expand its consultation and review with investigators, and test other models of community engagement
  3. Build on our own and other CTSA-developed methodologies to evaluate the impact of collaboration and stakeholder-engaged team science with additional qualitative and quantitative analyses.

These goals are closely aligned with the objective of NCATS to create infrastructure to engage communities with research projects and to advance the science of community-engaged research. We will use the CTSA to develop best practices, enduring curricula and other materials, and provide consultations on how to engage communities.

Spanish Translation Resource

Our Spanish Translation Resource offers the Montefiore Einstein research community access to a Spanish-language translator who will translate research documents from English to Spanish. Translations provided by the ICTR-supported Spanish Translation Resource will be from a fully-bilingual and certified individual who will incorporate linguistic and culturally relevant considerations.

Federal regulations mandate that information given to potential research participants (or their representatives) be given in a language they can understand. Translation of research documents is therefore necessary to comply with such regulations and can also help address barriers to research study participation among non-English and historically excluded populations.

Examples of research documents that may be translated include: Informed Consent documents, Questionnaires or study measures (if not already available and validated), Recruitment materials (print or social media ads, flyers), contact letters, among others.

Important considerations regarding translation services:

  • Cost should be accounted for in your research budget
    • Fees for Spanish-language translation is generally $100/page with variations according to project type or materials (ie website content, flyers)
    • Fees are waived for pilot studies or graduate research projects. Other considerations may be available on a case-by-case basis.
  • Only IRB-approved materials will be translated
    • We will request you provide the IRB-approved materials as the source file for translation.
  • Translating the documents is not always sufficient
    • The research team must include at least one person who is fluent in the target language(s) to ensure that participants can be effectively engaged and communicated with during all phases of research.

For questions regarding this service, please email Claudia.Lechuga@einsteinmed.edu

For Community Members

Group 2

CIRTIfication: Community Involvement in Research Training
This unique, self-paced online training program in human research protections is tailored to the unique roles of community research partners. This course, available in English and Spanish, provides an overview of research ethics and protections to enhance our community partners’ understanding of the research process to promote meaningful engagement.

Community partners, advocates, Community Health Workers, and others are encouraged to take advantage of this training at no charge. To get started, please email zoe.tsagaris@einsteinmed.edu.

Note: If individuals qualify to be listed on the IRB for a particular study, they should complete CITI training to ensure the institutionally required human subject projections training is completed.

Dissemination and Implementation Research

The CTSA Compendium of D&I Catalogs provides a curated list of resource catalogs relevant to the conduct of Dissemination & Implementation (D&I) science. The resource catalogs gathered here include frameworks/theories/models, methods/measures, funding resources, practice resources, training, and health equity resources. Included resource catalogs are curated/sponsored by academic and non-profit organizations with expertise in D&I; contain multiple resources that are systematically organized; and are (in almost all cases) both open-access and actively maintained/updated.

How to use the D&I Catalogs tool: Use the Sort and Filter functions below to view resources in categories of interest, or to view “featured resources.” Use this D&I Resource Suggestion Form to suggest a new catalog for inclusion.

This resource was developed by the Clinical & Translational Science Awards (CTSA) Program’s “Advancing Dissemination and Implementation Sciences in CTSAs” working group. This group focuses on meeting both the conceptual as well as practical challenges to advancing the utilization of D&I across the translational science spectrum. In particular, this group focuses on the “how” of D&I integration within CTSA hubs nationally, and on creating and disseminating practical tools, resources, and insights that CTSAs can use to fully realize the potential of D&I to enhance CTSAs’ mission.
