Testimonials
"Last fall I had the opportunity to participate in the ICCR course offered by CHRP/HRP and SPCTRM. The course is unique in the medical school and offers much needed training in the conduct of clinical research as well as the opportunity to meet and interact with multiple potential mentors. I have been here at Stanford for a number of years, and often experienced clinical research as an arduous task due to the difficulty in identifying individuals to help bridge knowledge and experience gaps. ICCR aims to help provide that bridge, by pointing out potential pitfalls in the conduct of clinical research, and by identifying go-to people for those inevitable quagmires, with lectures in clinical research methods, biostatistics, interventions and endpoints, and others. Most helpful for me was the process of working on one proposal in detail over the five day course and shaping it into a tight, realistic study. Thanks for the opportunity to participate in this valuable course, and I look forward to joining the group again as an assistant tutor."

"ICCR has proved to be an invaluable part of my research training at Stanford. Not only were we exposed to senior faculty with extensive experience and success in research, but also to truly remarkable colleagues doing important research in child health. The retreat like setting (and food!) provided a rare, clinical-responsibility-free opportunity to really focus on research methods and develop a research project. The collaborative, team approach also helped set the stage for some possible future collaborations. Thank you again for the opportunity to be a part of it!"
