Two years. That is the funding period for a trainee entering the IMPART T32 program at PRICE.
IMPART is supported by the National Institutes of Health through a Ruth L. Kirschstein National Research Service Award from the National Institute on Aging, award number 5T32AG049673. It is directed by Dr. Roger Fillingim and Dr. Yenisel Cruz-Almeida.
Two years is not long to build a research career. It is, however, long enough to do the thing that matters most: run a project of your own, from question to publication, with mentorship from people who have done it many times.
The program takes candidates from across what its own description calls the entire translational continuum — basic science, mechanistic human studies, clinical intervention trials, and epidemiological and implementation research. Mentor interests span age-related pain modulation, pain and cognition, pain and mobility, osteoarthritis, brain imaging, clinical interventions, and resilience.
The reason a center invests in this is straightforward. Pain research has a workforce problem: it needs people trained across disciplines at a moment when training is still mostly organized within them.
Tomorrow: the second program, and what it does differently.
