The Mentored Clinical Research Training Program (MCRTP ), a collaborative initiative between Weill Cornell Medicine and Houston Methodist, trains early-career physicians in clinical research practices.

The program provides participants with an introduction to the foundations of clinical research, including research design and methodologies, data management and analysis, and the regulatory process. As part of the program, physicians and senior fellows prepare an IRB-submission-ready clinical research proposal and submit it to an external funding agency for consideration. Mentor-guided development of individual clinical research project proposals continues following the workshop, and experienced clinical researchers at Weill Cornell and Houston Methodist provide support while participants progress in their clinical research projects.
