Postdoctoral training in burns and trauma research has been supported at the Massachusetts General Hospital since 1975 through an NIH/NIGMS National Research Service Award (NRSA) Institutional Research Training Grant (T32).

The research training program is designed to provide all the key elements for a broad interdisciplinary training experience, including an excellent environment, a high-quality training faculty, bright and motivated fellows, long-term institutional support, focused didactic instruction, and a well-coordinated clinical and basic science research program to study clinically relevant applications in injured patients.

Since the inception of the T32 program, there has always been a close association with the MGH Burn Research Center, and since 1995 the training opportunities have expanded to include research applications of bioengineering to burn and trauma care.
