Research Training and Support

A wide variety of opportunities for research training and scholarly projects are available to PEM fellows at UH Rainbow Babies & Children’s Hospital. Within the first year of fellowship training, fellows identify a mentorship team, research focus, and plan for fellowship scholarly activity based on their unique interests and career goals. This is done with the guidance and support of our program leadership team and division faculty. Throughout the second and third years of training, fellows progress through the scholarly process with the support and guidance of their research mentor(s) and Scholarly Oversight Committees.

Fellows are provided with many opportunities to present their scholarly work at local, regional and national meetings and are provided with support in submitting their scholarly work for peer-reviewed publication. All pediatric fellows at UH Rainbow Babies & Children’s Hospital are eligible to apply for grant funding through a unique Fellowship Research Award Program (FRAP) to financially support their scholarly work. Fellows also have the support of a biostatistician and a team of PEM research assistants who are invaluable members of our PEM research team.

All fellows within our program have the opportunity to complete formal coursework in clinical research, epidemiology and biostatistics through the Clinical Scholars Research Program at Case Western University School of Medicine.
