ジョージタウン大学のElin先生から久々にメールが来ました。その内容は、「新しくポスドクや研究者向けのフェローシップを作ったから、日本からの応募も大歓迎なのでヨロシクね」と言うもの（下記参照）。
アメリカ研究製薬工業協会とタッグを組んで、産学連携でレギュラトリーサイエンスを進め、最新の科学を取り入れた医薬品開発を加速させようと言うもので、さすが、やり手のElin先生とAlexis先生らしい取り組みです。
うちの教室からも.....と思いましたが、残念ながら学位保持者は私だけ。
チャレンジングですが、得るものは非常に多いと思います。また、今後のキャリア形成にも大きくプラスとなることでしょう。ジョージタウン大はワシントンですから、FDAも近く、この分野の研究や教育には良い場所です。
興味の有る方は是非チャレンジしてみてください！
Georgetown University and PhRMA Announce Fellowship in Regulatory Science
The Georgetown University Program for Regulatory Science & Medicine (PRSM) and the Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America (PhRMA) have established a Fellowship in Regulatory Science. Regulatory science is an applied scientific discipline that generates and makes use of evidence-based knowledge to inform decision-making about the safety and benefits of medical products, and comprises an emerging, specialized, and interdisciplinary field of biomedical research and education. Early in its evolution, the field holds great promise for scholarship, innovation, and application to enhance the safety and effectiveness of medical products and improve public health. The Fellowship in Regulatory Science will provide the scientific training needed to modernize and improve the way medical products are reviewed and evaluated. Fellows will conduct research, learn, teach and mentor students. Details about the fellowship activities are highlighted in theRequest for Applications. Fellows will be awarded up to two years of salary support and research stipends, beginning with a one-year term, with possibilities for renewal after successful completion of the first year. This postgraduate fellowship will help develop researchers and scholars to reach their fullest potential in advancing innovative research to benefit public health. Applications for the fellowship are due June 30, 2014, with the first year-long term beginning September 1, 2014.
