Discover a sabbatical like no other.
Discover America’s Research Hospital.
Welcome to the Clinical Research Management Sabbatical homepage. This pilot program offers clinical investigators, health-care managers and administrators, and others who oversee clinical trials an opportunity to study at the National Institutes of Health.
Not only will participants learn from other seasoned professionals at the NIH Clinical Center, but they will also have opportunities for electives at other NIH Institutes & Centers, as well as other Federal agencies, such as the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the DHHS Office of Human Subjects Protection (OHRP). The sabbatical presents clinician-scientists and others with the unique chance to receive advanced management training to help ensure that they have the knowledge and skills to develop clinical and translational research programs with safe, ethical, and efficient standards.
