Description
The San Francisco VA Health Care System’s two-year advanced fellowship trains researchers to apply data science to trauma and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) research. It is associated with the Sierra Pacific Mental Illness Research, Education and Clinical Center (MIRECC), affiliated with UCSF, and funded by the Department of Veterans Affairs Office of Academic Affiliations. Its goal is to prepare fellows to become leading trauma and PTSD researchers through mentored research and education in clinical research and data science.
Fellows develop projects with mentors, publish and present findings, and participate in grant writing. Training includes seminars and workshops on research methods, quantitative analysis, big data, and career development, alongside weekly biostatistical consultation. Fellows spend 75% of their time on their own research and education and 25% on a data science project for the San Francisco VA Health Care System.
