<font face="Cambria" size="2"><span style="font-size: 11pt;"><font size="3"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Applications for the 2018 mHealth Training Institute or mHTI (July 29 – August 3, 2018 at the University of California, Los Angeles) are </span></font><a href="https://mhealth.md2k.org/apply" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><font size="3"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">now
being accepted</span></font></a><font size="3"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">. Building on the success of past mHTIs, the week-long immersion program uses a blended learning environment to provide selected scholars with a core grounding in latest mHealth
methodologies and develops their capacity to successfully contribute to team science. Through reflective and active learning guided by faculty mentors, scholars will apply the gained knowledge to developing</span></font><font size="3"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">transdisciplinary
mHealth solutions for real-world health problems</span></font><font size="3"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">, while building an interdisciplinary learning community and a dense scientific network.</span></font></span></font></div>

<font face="Cambria" size="2"><span style="font-size: 11pt;"><font size="3"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">The summer institute is underwritten by a NIH/OBSSR/NIDA training grant (1R25DA038167) and supported by the NIH Center for Excellence on Mobile Sensor
Data-to-Knowledge (MD2K) and the UCLA CTSI (</span></font><font size="3"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">UL1TR001881)</span></font><font size="3"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">. There is no tuition and the selected scholars will be provided with lodging and
boarding at the UCLA Luskin Conference Center. Participation in the mHTI is by invitation only. Due to the intensive and team-science nature of the training, participation is limited to 30 scholars. </span></font><font size="3"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Our
target scholars are junior and experienced researchers with doctoral degrees who are interested in expanding their mHealth knowledge base and skills and forging interdisciplinary connections.</span></font><font size="3" color="black"><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> </span></font><font size="3"><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> Preference
