Part of the Robert A. Winn Diversity in Clinical Trials Award Program, the Robert A. Winn Clinical Investigator Pipeline Program (CIPP) is a summer service-learning externship that introduces talented medical students (MD, DO, MD/PhD, DO/PhD) of diverse backgrounds to clinical research in community-based settings (e.g., community health centers, safety net hospitals, clinical research organizations).
The Winn CIPP offers a distinctive approach to increasing diversity in clinical trials by offering rising second, third and fourth year medical students a six-week intensive and immersive summer service-learning experience in communities where underrepresented patients receive care. Students gain exposures to clinical research, acquire community engagement and leadership skills, and are mentored by early-stage clinical investigators participating in the Robert A. Winn Career Development Award Program.
Students each receive a $5,000 scholarship stipend to cover travel, living, and lodging expenses during the service-learning period.
