Clinical Research Scholars Program

Program Goal and Objectives

The goal of the program is to enable each Clinical Research Scholar to successfully compete for clinical research funding. The specific objectives for the program are to:

• Provide Scholars with an enriched academic environment that will enhance the development of their clinical research
• Provide instruction to Clinical Research Scholars in practical research skills
• Assist Scholars in identifying and accessing research-related resources
• Ensure the development of a research proposal which is submitted to an appropriate funding agency

Scholars are expected to participate fully in the program by attending program sessions, contributing to discussions, and completing assignments.  Scholars will be asked to give presentations and regular updates on their research projects.  They will also be asked to provide appropriate suggestions, constructive criticism, and feedback to other Scholars.  Scholars will be asked to meet regularly with their research mentors or advisors.
