Array
The Clinical Research Training Program (CRTP) is a three-track training program for clinicians or clinical researchers. The first track consists of a series of integrated weekly lectures on patient-oriented research. The second track extends the curriculum and culminates in a certificate in Clinical Research. Participants in the third track complete additional graduate-level coursework to earn a Master of Science degree. Because the curriculum is intended to be taken concurrently with a fellowship program, primary clinical training, or clinical attending/research, scheduling of the core components is designed to be accessible to trainees who also have clinical responsibilities. Each of the three tracks follows a specific timeline. Please see track descriptions that follow for specific information.
Track I: Essentials of Patient-Oriented Research Course
The Essentials of Patient-Oriented Research (EPOR) is a series of integrated weekly lectures exploring specific topics of patient-oriented research held during the academic year. Lectures focus on methods for planning, funding, conducting, and reporting clinical research. While this course is intended primarily for fellowship trainees and junior faculty, others interested in clinical research (including clinical research nurses, study coordinators, and medical students) are welcome as space permits.
* Autumn quarter series: Fundamentals of study design
* Winter quarter series: Implementing Clinical Research
* Spring quarter series: Statistical Methods in Clinical Research
EPOR begins in late September and ends in late May. Participants may choose to attend one, two, or three quarters. Certificates of completion are awarded each quarter based on active participation and consistent attendance.
EPOR is presented at no charge but advance registration with the program office is required for each series.
Track II: CRTP Certificate Program
The Clinical Research Training Program (CRTP) offers training for clinical fellows or junior faculty in the theory and methods of clinical research. The program consists of graduate-levels courses in statistical and epidemiologic methods starting in July, a year-long series of lectures on the essentials of conducting patient-oriented research (EPOR), and a seminar-style workshop on the design and analysis of clinical research. Both EPOR and the workshop are held during the regular academic year (September-June).
Each applicant must identify a research mentor who will help develop a specific research question that he or she will build into an R01, R21, or K award over the course of a year. Priority is given to individuals who will have completed the EPOR lecture series.
Applications should be received by April 1st and should consist of:
1. CV
2. Letter from the candidate describing his/her research plan and career goals.
3. Letter of support from the candidate’s research mentor.
4. Letter from the candidate’s Program Director/Section Chief supporting the candidate’s participation and ensuring that sufficient protected time will be provided for the coursework and seminar participation.
All application materials should be sent to: Ms. Michele Thompson, Program Manager, Clinical Research Training Program, AMB W247. Phone: (773) 834-1836; FAX: (773) 702-1979
Candidates who are selected for an interview will be notified by April 15th.
The CRTP is a component of the University of Chicago’s Clinical and Translational Science Award from NIH.
Track III: Master of Science in Health Studies
Track III of the CRTP culminates in a Master of Science in Health Studies. Trainees must complete a total of nine graduate-level courses and they are encouraged to attend the autumn quarter of the "Essentials of Patient Oriented Research" (EPOR) lecture series. Track III is designed to provide in-depth knowledge of the methods of biostatistics, epidemiology, patient-outcomes assessment, and health-services research. Students must apply to Track III through the Biological Sciences Division (BSD) / Health Studies admissions process. Applications must be received by December 1st and consist of:
1. BSD application (including three letters of recommendation). Available online.
2. Sealed official transcript(s)
3. MCAT or GRE scores
4. CV
5. A career statement detailing how this program will support the candidate's career goals.
6. A letter of endorsement from the Department Chair/Section Chief supporting the candidate's participation and insuring that sufficient protected time will be provided.
