If I apply for the Certificate in Clinical Investigation (Track I), can I then, at a later time, apply to transfer into the Master’s Degree Program (Track II)?
Yes, you may apply to Track I first, and at a later time apply to transfer to Track II. To apply you will need to complete the application for the Master’s track in the electronic protocol authoring and review system (ePAR). The application for the Master’s program, while similar to the Certificate application, has a few notable differences: Your letters of recommendation must come from your proposed mentors and you will need to submit a 1-page research proposal in NEJM style abstract format. If you would like to have your name added to our request of application (RFA) list or have any questions please email the program office at ctsc_k30@med.cornell.edu. • Cover letter addressed to the Program Director stating reason for continuing onto Track II. • Recommendation and commitment letters from 2 mentors whom you will work with on this project. • Letter from your Division Chief stating that you will be guaranteed 80% protected time for your mentored research project. • 1-page description
