The FIRST in CER (Comparative Effectiveness Research) program will provide junior investigators with rigorous training and mentoring opportunities in CER, with particular emphasis on areas of central interest to NHLBI. This program will allow young scientists to investigate the unique challenges faced in pursuing clinical and translational science, as well as the promise of interdisciplinary team approaches to science for solving complex health problems. Through summer training in biostatistics, epidemiology, race and health, and decision and cost-effectiveness analysis, as well as exposure to CER research design, mentorship access and grant-writing support, junior investigators will gain the knowledge and skills they need to carry out their own research.
