Program Description
The Clinical Research Scholars Program (CRSP) at Mayo Clinic is a two- to five-year program funded by the Mayo Clinic Center for Translational Science Activities (CTSA). The program leads to a postdoctoral master's degree in clinical research and a successful career as an independent clinician investigator. Mayo Clinic is actively recruiting a diverse team of research scholars representing leading-edge and varied clinical research disciplines for this program.
The Clinical Research Scholars Program combines didactic course
work and a mentored research experience to produce leaders of multidisciplinary
research teams that will advance the biological and technological
discoveries into the best practices of disease prevention, diagnosis
and treatment in the 21st century.
The Clinical Research Scholars Program provides a personalized
didactic program designed to meet the needs of future research leaders,
protected time and other resources to enable clinical research scholars
to accomplish a structured practical research experience. All CRSP
participants conduct a multidisciplinary clinical research project
under the guidance of a well-established Mayo Clinic senior investigator.
Clinical research scholars successfully completing the program
will be awarded a Master's of Clinical Research Degree. You will
be prepared to apply for future extramural research grants as an
independent investigator and to pursue an academic career in clinical
research.
