The Pediatric Scientist Development Program (PSDP) is designed to provide research training relevant to specialty areas of pediatrics and to prepare entry-level faculty for research careers in academic pediatrics. Physicians presently in pediatric residency or first year of fellowship who wish to train in basic, translational, clinical or health services research with an established investigator/mentor are encouraged to apply.

This Eligibility Form is used to determine the accurate timing of application submission. An online application will be provided once eligibility has been verified.
