R38 Emory PPS-StARR Pathway
This NHLBI-funded pathway ensures residents have between 12-18 months of 80% protected research time over a 4-year pediatric residency. R38 residents also receive $40,000 in research funds over the course of their program.
Integrated Research Pathway (IRP)
This PSTP pathway enables residents to have up to 11 research rotations (equal to 11 months) over the course of their 3-year pediatric residency. IRP residents follow up their 3 year residency with a fellowship, with a designated slot at Emory. Residents also have access to an additional $2500 to support research in addition to funds available through the Residency Program.
Accelerated Research Pathway (ARP)
This PSTP pathway is only available in very select cases. ARP requires that the first two years of residency consist only of clinical training and no research activities. This enable the resident to move more quickly onto a fellowship with dedicated research time. Under current ACGME and ABP guidelines, the pathway is 6 years total: clinical-only residency for years 1-2, clinically-focused fellowship for year 3, and research fellowship for years 4-6. ARP residents have a designated fellowship slot at Emory. Residents also have access to an additional $2500 to support research in addition to funds available through the Residency Program.
In addition to all elements of PRISE, residents in PSTP research intensive tracks will receive:
- A Scholarship Oversight Committee (in addition to research and career mentors)
- An Intensive grant writing workshop
- Training in the responsible conduct of research
- Optional coursework and workshops depending on interests
- Preferential acceptance into fellowship of choice at Emory
- Additional funding support available during research years
