Financial Information
The PhD in CTS is designed for a diverse student population who are in various stages of their research career. The program benefits are individualized for faculty, fellows, residents, medical students and others. The ICRE will work with each student to identify support that is tailored according to their own personal needs.
Below are some hypothetical examples of program benefits for different types of students:

- Stipend
- Tuition
- Individual health insurance (with an option to purchase additional family coverage)

Clinical Fellows, Residents, Faculty and Staff at the University of Pittsburgh:

- Research support through the Design, Biostatics and Research Ethics Core of the CTSI
