The 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 P
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:
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.
All junior faculty who are interested in a clinical/translational research career are encouraged to apply. Applicants must be U.S. Citizens or U.S. Permanent Residents to be eligible. Selection of a Clinical Research Scholar is based on the Selection Committee’s review of the candidate’s materials. They may also elect to interview the candidate.
When selected for the program Clinical Research Scholars are required to:
In addition, Scholars are encouraged to:
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.
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.
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.
