Master of Science in Clinical Research (MSCR)

Clinical Research Curriculum Award Program
This program is designed for participants who hold doctoral degrees of MD or MD/PhD and for other recipients of a doctoral degree who have demonstrated commitment to and who would benefit from a formal didactic curriculum in clinical research.

Candidates are expected to have completed a solid foundation of clinical training (e.g. board eligibility/certification) in a clinical field or subspecialty prior to entry into the program and are usually at the level of senior fellow or junior faculty. The program is designed to provide the didactic curriculum recommended for those applying for new individual NIH investigator awards (K-23,K-24) and for other clinical research career development programs. 

Applicants are to be nominated and must be supported by their Departments in the Woodruff Health Sciences Center and/or participating institutions. Individuals will be selected on the basis of academic qualifications, commitment to clinical research, background and training in clinical medicine, letters of reference, departmental recommendations, diversity and multidisciplinary background.
