Multidisciplinary Research Training in Palliative Care

项目摘要/摘要 这项竞争性的T32续订申请的目标是继续一个研究培训计划，该计划 为从事优先研究的博士后医师和博士后研究员做好准备 老年医学与姑息治疗交界处的话题。要求为每个博士后实习生提供4人的资助 今年，受训人员人数与当前T32奖项第五年相同。这个T32研究培训计划 支持对内科科学家和博士科学家进行博士后培训。 当前T32培训计划的主要推动力，以及这一要求的竞争性更新，是 迫切需要一批训练有素的调查人员，以推动姑息治疗领域的发展， 最终改善对患有严重晚期疾病的老年人的护理。此T32支持的研究培训 该计划解决了老龄化和姑息治疗方面的科学知识和研究劳动力缺口，即 缺乏强有力的研究证据和调查人员的渠道。 这个T32的初始资助期集中在：1)招聘和留住优秀的博士后实习生； 2)通过体验式和教学式教学支持他们的研究训练；3)确保最高水平 通过对经过深思熟虑的个人研究生涯的认真监督来获得学术成功 发展计划；以及4)通过与更多 经验丰富的资深导师，扩大姑息治疗研究的资深导师队列。这些目标 仍然是这项计划的核心，并反映在这项培训拨款的组织和重点中。 拟议的竞争性更新建立在第一个供资期间取得的显著成功的基础上， 通过完善的课程来加强现有方法，以满足已确定的和不断变化的需求 该领域和扩大该计划和附属学院。这款T32最初4年的成功是 表现为有能力：1)用7名优秀的实习生填补职位，并培养持续的实习生渠道 候选人；2)培养学术上成功和富有成效的受训人员，他们发表了同行评议的文章 手稿，在国家场馆展示，获得校内外赠款资金，并获得 以研究为重点的教师职位；3)通过聘用更多初级教师来扩大研究导师的队伍 作为共同导师；以及4)通过深思熟虑和战略性的方式提高老年姑息治疗研究能力 项目和教职员工之间的互动，为新高年级学生带来新的技能和专业知识并吸引他们 姑息治疗研究的导师。这款T32已经，并将继续提供资金，立即 通过培养一支技术娴熟、多产的研究人员队伍，发挥地方、地区和国家的影响力。

Project Summary / Abstract The goal of this competitive T32 renewal application is to continue a research training program that is preparing postdoctoral physician and PhD fellows for careers as investigators addressing priority research topics at the interface of geriatrics and palliative care. Funding is requested for 4 post-doctoral trainees per year, the same number of trainees as in year 5 of the current T32 award. This T32 research training program supports postdoctoral training for both physician-scientists and Ph.D.-scientists. The primary impetus for the current T32 training program, and this requested competitive renewal, is the urgent need for a pipeline of well-trained investigators positioned to advance the field of palliative care, ultimately improving care for older adults with serious advanced illness. This T32-supported research training program addresses a scientific knowledge and research workforce gap in aging and palliative care, namely, the paucity of robust research evidence and a pipeline of investigators. The initial funding period for this T32 focused on: 1) recruiting and retaining outstanding post-doctoral trainees; 2) supporting their research training through experiential and didactic instruction; 3) ensuring the highest level of academic success through conscientious monitoring of thoughtfully constructed individual research career development plans; and 4) enhancing the mentoring skills of junior mentors through co-mentoring with more experienced senior mentors, expanding the cohort of senior mentors in palliative care research. These goals remain at the heart of this program and are reflected in the organization and focus of this training grant. The proposed competitive renewal builds on the demonstrated successes over the first funding period, enhancing the existing approach through a refined curriculum that meets the identified and evolving needs of the field and expanding the Program and Affiliated Faculty. Success in the initial 4 years of this T32 is demonstrated by ability to: 1) fill positions with 7 outstanding trainees and foster an ongoing pipeline of trainee candidates; 2) produce academically successful and productive trainees who are publishing peer-reviewed manuscripts, presenting in national venues, obtaining intra- and extra-mural grant funding and attaining research-focused faculty positions; 3) expand the cohort of research mentors by engaging more junior faculty as co-mentors; and 4) enhance geriatric palliative care research capacity through deliberate and strategic interactions amongst programs and faculty, bringing new skills and expertise to and engaging new senior mentors in palliative care research. This T32 has, and with ongoing funding will continue to have, immediate local, regional, and national influence by developing a cadre of skilled, productive researchers.
