目的：为了开发和评估一个补充教育计划（“IMPACT”），使参与者能够具体考虑和明确阐述他们的research.Design的最佳路径和潜在的影响：参与者（学员）和教师导师来自生物医学研究的各个领域。该小组以小规模、轮流小组的方式纵向工作，通过编写书面声明（“影响声明”）、概述（“影响故事”）和口头介绍（“影响案例”）的过程。在179名（96%）完成该计划的研究员中，159名（89%）对计划后调查作出了回应; 94%的人表示IMPACT是一次重要的学习经历，89%的人表示他们更能够确定其研究的长期潜力，95%的人感到更能够向不同的受众谈论他们的工作。这一自愿教育计划受到了参与者的赞赏，并使他们对自己推动科学产生明确影响并将这种潜力传达给他人的能力增强了信心。这种类型的程序可能有助于重新定向OA成像的一些努力和资源，从技术发展的大焦点到更直接的生物学和临床问题，这些问题可能会用当前的技术来解决。
Objective: To develop and evaluate a supplementary educational program ("IMPACT") centered on enabling participants to consider specifically and articulate explicitly the best path for and potential impact of their research.Design: Participants (trainees) and faculty mentors were from all areas of biomedical research. The group worked longitudinally in small, rotating groups, through a process of developing a written statement ("Impact Statement"), an overview ("Impact Storyline") and an oral presentation ("Impact Case") of their work.Results: One hundred and eighty-seven Fellows enrolled in the program. Of the 179 (96%) Fellows who completed the program, 159 (89%) responded to a post-program survey; 94% indicated that IMPACT was a significant learning experience, 89% indicated that they were more able to identify the long-term potential of their research, 95% felt more able to talk about their work to diverse audiences.Conclusion: This voluntary educational program was appreciated by the participants and led to increased confidence in their ability to drive their science towards a clear impact and communicating that potential to others. This type of program may aid in redirecting some of the efforts and resources of imaging in OA from the large focus on technical developments to more direct biological and clinical questions which might be resolved with current technology.
