Clinical Research Scholars Program (CRSP)
Status: Open for Applications - Due May 31, 2019The Medical College of Wisconsin has a tradition of excellence in research. In keeping with this tradition and to address the need for expanding medical knowledge, the Medical College of Wisconsin has identified the training of new clinical investigators as a priority. The Clinical Research Scholars Program was developed to address this goal.
The mission of the Clinical and Translational Science Institute’s Clinical Research Scholars Program is to provide didactic training and individual mentoring in career development and clinical research to junior faculty who are committed to pursuing careers in academic medicine as independently funded, clinical and translational investigators. The program faculty is dedicated to ensuring the success of its Clinical Research Scholars by providing protected research time, a supportive research environment, research-related resources, individual mentoring and skills in clinical research methodology.
The Clinical Research Scholars Program is made up of a diverse group of researchers, educators, physicians and junior faculty. All of these individuals work together to promote an environment which facilitates research and learning while fostering collaborative investigation. The Program is made up of the primary faculty, the selection committee, and the clinical scholars.
Goals & Objectives
Goals & 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.
Eligibility

Selection Criteria
Selection Criteria
Junior faculty, who are committed to academic careers and to clinical research, are encouraged to apply. Decisions to accept candidates are made on the basis of the candidate’s interest in clinical research, the candidate’s statement of commitment to participating in the program, and assurances that the candidate will have protected time to engage in research.
Advisory and Selection Committee
The role of the Advisory and Selection Committee of the Clinical Research Scholars Program is to provide oversight to the program by advising on the selection of scholars, providing oversight for the curriculum, evaluating the program, and providing guidance on the integration of the Program with Medical College of Wisconsin Centers and resources.
Curriculum
Curriculum
The Clinical Research Scholars Program is a didactic program of the theory and methods of clinical research integrated with instruction in practical research skills. At the culmination of the program, scholars will have a wide range of theoretical, methodological, and practical experiences in the conduct of clinical research.
The Clinical Research Scholars Program uses a guided apprenticeship model to help Clinical Research Scholars develop research skills. Twice monthly seminars held over a two-year period allow the Scholars to use their own research projects, and those of the other Scholars, as vehicles for learning. Experienced clinical investigators serve as facilitators for the seminars. Meeting together in small groups to discuss these research projects allows the Scholars to serve as colleagues and advisors for one another. Outside of seminars, each Scholar works closely with an experienced mentor who provides individualized, project specific guidance. The progress of each Scholar is carefully monitored, and the program is continuously evaluated.
Additionally, scholars are encouraged to participate in the Clinical and Translational Science Program whereby they can earn a Master of Science from the Medical College of Wisconsin.

What our scholars are saying about the program
The Clinical Research Scholars Program at MCW provided me the opportunity to realize my full potential as a researcher within a supportive environment. I am delighted to say that even after the program, I still continue to collaborate with colleagues at MCW in my publications and grants.
— Christopher Okunseri, BDS, MSc, Associate Professor and Predoctoral Program Director for Public Health, Marquette School of Dentistry
The Clinical Research Scholars program was invaluable in helping to advance my career in research at MCW. Having a group of peers available to help review manuscripts and grants and senior investigators to provide advice and expertise was so important. In addition, I had close contact with the statistical team on my research projects and they really helped keep me on track with my work. We continue to work together even now.
