Mentored Independent Research

1-8 units

Scholars earn Mentored Independent Research credits for conducting clinical research, completing a report and developing and presenting a poster describing their work. They are also expected to attend a half-day research symposium in the fall with other clinical investigators. Mentored Independent Research will be presented each semester to an advisory committee that includes the scholar's departmental mentors as well as Clinical Research Training Center program faculty. The research presented will be in the form of a research paper submitted for publication in a peer reviewed journal. Under some circumstances, a grant application submitted for review will be acceptable in place of the research paper. MTPCI Mentored Independent Research will provide scholars with the practical application of skills learned in the Clinical Research Training Program didactic coursework and seminars. Open to CRTC Postdoctoral Program scholars only.
