Clinical & Translational Science Certificate
The Clinical & Translational Science Certificate requires completion of 16 - 16.5 credits, billed at $1,666 per credit.
HEOR Certificate
The total cost of the HEOR Certificate Program is $8,335. Tuition is billed on a semester basis at a per-credit cost of $1,666. Accepted students in this program are required to submit a nonrefundable $500 enrollment deposit which is applied to their fall semester tuition.
Billing
Fall semester bills are due the first week of August; Spring semester bills are due the first week of December. All students, regardless of the source of their funding, must pay all outstanding charges by the due date. Students who do not pay in a timely manner will be subject to late fees, prevented from registering, and ultimately will be withdrawn from school.
Funding Support
Students in the CTS PhD, MS, and Certificate programs could be eligible for receiving financial support provided through the T32 Fellowship Program, an NIH-funded grant that offers research training for scholars and clinicians with an interest in clinical and translational research. There are separate predoctoral and postdoctoral T32 Fellowship Programs. The fellowship stipends vary according to the post-graduate levels of the students and the available training funds.
T32 Fellowship Eligibility
- Applicants for postdoctoral fellowships should be doctoral-level scholars and clinicians (DMDs, DVMs, MDs, PhDs, ScDs). Postdoctoral fellow applicants must apply to the CTS MS or PhD Program.
- Applicants for predoctoral fellowships must be already enrolled in a doctoral program (MD, DVM, DMD, PhD, or ScD) or will enroll in the CTS PhD Program. Predoctoral fellows who are already enrolled in a doctoral program may choose to apply to the CTS Certificate, MS, or PhD Program.
- All fellowship recipients must be US citizens or permanent residents.
More information about the CTS T32 Fellowship Program is available on the Tufts CTSI website.
