Grant Description

Opportunity for USA medical students from underrepresented populations to participate in an externship. The purpose of the program is to provide participants with training in the following three categories: leadership development, clinical research, and community engagement.

The mission of the Robert A. Winn Diversity in Clinical Trials: Clinical Investigator Pathway Program (Winn CIPP) is to build a pathway of community-oriented clinical trialists of diverse backgrounds who are committed to increasing inclusion, equity, and diversity in the conduct of clinical and translational research.

The program envisions a future workforce of community-oriented clinical trial researchers that reflects the diversity of the US population.

Winn CIPP Goals:

To expose medical students to career pathways in clinical research.
To facilitate an approach to clinical and translational research that is community-informed, designed, and conducted.

Winn CIPP students will learn the basics of clinical trials and work in community-based clinical research organizations to provide outreach, education, and engagement on clinical trials. Students will receive training in three areas:

Clinical Research - Students gain clinical research exposure through engagement with clinical investigators in community-based clinical research organizations and academic medical centers.
Community Engagement - Students develop team-based service-learning projects, in which they conduct short-term capacity building interventions, such as community needs assessments or implement patient initiatives (education, outreach, and/or informational programs). Students will design and conduct their projects in collaboration with site supervisors.
Leadership Development - Students are introduced to clinical research career development pathways and receive mentoring from Winn CDA scholars that supports their development of community-oriented clinical research leadership skills.
