Project Requirements
Although each proposed project will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis, several guiding principles will apply in the majority of cases:
• Projects should be data driven. This includes quantitative and qualitative data. Although literature reviews and meta-analyses are important, they are not generally sufficient for a Clinician Scholar Program project.
• There should be a balance of learning, such that the trainee has the opportunity to determine impact/results and produce project deliverables (e.g. publications, presentations), while also gaining pragmatic exposure to conducting scholarship (e.g. REB applications, data collection and analysis, etc.).
