Q: Do I need to be affiliated with a safety net hospital or community health clinic to be considered?

The scholar will need admitting rights to whatever institution that is associated with their mentor’s clinical trial.

Q: I am currently a clinician-researcher and dedicate a certain portion of my time to research and a certain portion to clinical care. Do I have to dedicate 40% of my full-time equivalent (FTE) to research only?

Yes, 40% of the scholar's FTE should be dedicated to research. If there are other research projects that already have a substantial amount of their time taken up, the scholar may not have time to participate in this program.
