The iTHRIV Scholar Career Development Program aims to train the next generation of translational researchers in principles of data science and the conduct of rigorous and reproducible science, while also promoting team science as a means to enhance innovation and discovery in health-related research. The iTHRIV Scholars Program is available to full-time faculty applicants who have a doctoral degree, or its equivalent, in a research or health profession. The iTHRIV Scholars program, launched in 2017, helps early career faculty members advance their careers. Meet the iTHRIV Scholars. https://www.ithriv.org/current-ithriv-scholars
