Welcome to the Primary Care Research Training Program (P-CART) at GW
The goal of the George Washington University (GW) Primary Care Research Training Program (P-CART) is to develop researchers who are prepared to generate, test, and disseminate primary care-oriented interventions that aim to improve health and health equity. It is essential to equip the next generation of primary care researchers with the knowledge, competencies, experience, and leadership to uncover new knowledge and drive effective translation of best evidence into practice across health promotion, disease and injury prevention, workforce innovation, health care transformation, and population health. Our program addresses the US Department of Health and Human Services clinical priority of “transforming the workforce – targeting the need,” through a curriculum, interprofessional collaboration, and career development activities that prepare fellows to address significant issues in primary care and launch their research careers.
The P-CART program is a federally funded Ruth L. Kirschstein National Research Service Award (NRSA), a T32 grant, administered by the U.S. Health Resources & Services Administration (HRSA). Participants are required to pursue their research training on a full-time basis. Trainees have the opportunity to engage in additional work unrelated to NRSA, such as clinical service, for up to 10 hours per week. Appointments are normally made in 12- month increments, and no trainee may be appointed for less than nine months during the initial period of appointment. Fellows commit to complete at least two years of fellowship training. In addition to the NRSA stipend, additional financial support may be available for research courses, travel, and other trainee-related expenses.
