The Translational Science Interagency Fellowship (TSIF) is a postdoctoral fellowship opportunity developed by the National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences (NCATS) and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Fellows will be jointly mentored by NCATS and FDA scientists on a research project of mutual interest to both organizations. Fellows in this program will develop skills of value to future careers in academia, the pharmaceutical industry, and government.
At the FDA, fellows will receive formal training and mentoring in:
- Regulatory science/research
- FDA medical product review and approval process
- Relevant federal statutes, regulations, and principles
At NCATS, fellows will receive formal training and mentoring in:
- The early stages of technology development, and
- Preclinical and clinical translational science.
For the 2024 cohort, there are nine mentor pairs/projects spanning a wide range of topics and scientific areas. More information about the projects, mentors, and the application process can be found here and in the Program Fact Sheet.
Applicants must be US citizens or permanent residents and have two years or less of postdoctoral training.
