The Clinical Research Challenge is an innovative and unique competition where teams of three pharmacy students participate in an online journal club for the opportunity to submit a research proposal. Teams achieving the top 40 scores following the Round 1 Journal Club will advance to Round 2: Letter of Intent submission. Teams achieving the top 20 scores after Round 2 will be invited to submit a full research proposal. This novel competition is targeted towards pharmacy students in their first two years of their first professional pharmacy degree program (P1 and P2 students for 4 year programs; P1 and P2 students for 3 year accelerated programs and the first two professional years of 0-6 or 0-7 year programs).
