Clinical Research Scholars Program
The overall goal of the Clinical Research Scholars Program (CRSP) is to help prepare scientists to become independent clinical investigators and improve understanding of disease mechanisms, prevention and treatment. A more concrete goal is to finish the program with a successful grant proposal. Scholars form a peer group, and benefit from interactions within the group as they pursue the common goal of becoming skilled and funded clinical researchers. The program focuses on preparing an initial successful grant application in a structured and mentored environment. It also provides more advanced training for success in funded research, productive grant management, and planning for a successful competitive renewal application. Scholars pursue individual, defined programs of education and skills development under the guidance of mentors of their own choosing. The process may also include earning a M.S. or Ph.D. degree through the Clinical Science Graduate Program. The endpoint of the program is attainment of independent funding from NIH or other funding agency. For more information, contact the Clinical Research Education Office at creo.utmb@utmb.edu
