"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!"

CHRP, HRP and SPCTRM are delighted to host the third annual Intensive Course in Clinical Research - Study Design and Performance, funded by the Lucile Packard Foundation for Children's Health, the Children's Health Initiative, and the Pediatric Research Fund. Intended for pediatric faculty and fellows who are headed for academic careers in clinical and translational research, this week-long “immersion” experience was proposed by the CHRP Steering Committee and based on a very successful model used by Phil Lavori at the VA and piloted here at Stanford in September 2006 and 2007. A talented group of 29 individuals composed of junior faculty, fellows and two advanced practice nurses who were actively engaged in clinical research involving pediatric subjects, constituted our first graduating class. Based on the very positive first experiences we are pleased to offer the course again in September 2008.
