As a member of the NIH-funded Cardiothoracic Surgical Trials Network (CTSN), we have developed the Dartmouth National Implementation Science Program (NISP) to train the next generation of investigators in late-stage (T4-translation to populations) clinical research. This two-year didactic program involves tailored online, on-demand training, as well as opportunities to participate in CTSN activities such as protocol development committees, complete an original research project using clinical trial or population-based datasets, and receive career development mentorship from the Dartmouth NISP.
