Grant: DSEN Training Grant

The Drug Safety and Effectiveness Cross-Disciplinary Training (DSECT) Program bridges multiple post market drug research disciplines to better understand choosing, using, and losing medications within the context of medication safety and effectiveness. As drugs become more expensive and more personalized, drug policy decision making faces new and more difficult challenges. To address these challenges, there is an urgent need to train scientists who can integrate concepts and findings across the drug discovery, applied clinical practice and policy spectrum. The Drug Safety and Effectiveness Cross-Disciplinary Training (DSECT) Program offers opportunities for graduate and postgraduate trainees across a broad spectrum of disciplines to learn together and from each other as a key impetus for filling the critical void of skilled, knowledgeable researchers in the area of drug therapy.
