Professional Development Core

项目摘要：专业发展核心 在路易斯安那州，心血管疾病、糖尿病/肥胖等健康差距 癌症对路易斯安那州公民的影响尤为严重。不幸的是，没有足够的数量 精通临床和转化研究的研究人员可以解决和缩小这种健康差距。的 路易斯安那临床与转化科学 (LA CatS) 专业发展重点的总体目标 组成部分活动 (PD-KCA) 旨在教育和培训全州范围内的学术教师和学员（学者），以 开展临床/转化研究，重点是改善健康结果和减少健康差距 路易斯安那州。 PD-KCA 提供授予学位的培训项目：临床研究硕士 (MSCR)、指导和各种教育研究资源，以帮助来自不同健康领域的学者 整个路易斯安那州的专业人士。 PD-KCA 研究计划基于以下具体目标：(1) 制定支持临床和转化研究培训、职业发展和指导的计划 具体针对多个医疗保健学科，并且 (2) 开发、提供和协调无障碍 帮助教师和学员开发、发起、执行、分析和传播的资源 临床/转化研究。 PD-KCA将通过创建学术“家”来实施研究计划 为从事更广泛研究的学者提供量身定制的临床和转化研究培训 经验（例如学生到博士后研究员）和来自不同专业学科（例如医学、 心理学、牙科、护理学等）。这种跨机构的结构化方法的开发目的是 包括路易斯安那州各地的 LA CatS 合作机构。 PD-KCA 计划提供 培训和研究资源，包括 MSCR 现场课程和远程学习课程， 进入集中临床试验登记中心，即路易斯安那州癌症中心的新风险评估诊所 研究中心、全州虚拟生物样本库资源以及专注于健康的“团队科学”项目 差异疾病结果以促进研究团队合作。远程学习是提供的关键 学者可以访问所有 PD-KCA 资源；因此，MSCR 课程的集中纲要和 研究工具包将通过异步系统提供。总体而言，PD-KCA 打算招募， 教育和培训来自不同医疗保健学科的学者，重点关注临床和转化研究 健康差异疾病，以改善目前对公民产生负面影响的健康结果 路易斯安那州。

PROJECT SUMMARY: PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT CORE In the state of Louisiana, health disparities such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes/obesity, and cancer disproportionately affect Louisiana citizens. Unfortunately, there are not adequate numbers of investigators proficient in Clinical and Translational Research to address and diminish this health disparity. The overall objective of the Louisiana Clinical and Translational Science (LA CaTS) Professional Development Key Component Activity (PD-KCA) is to educate and train academic faculty and trainees (Scholars) state-wide to pursue clinical/translational research focused on improving health outcomes and reducing health disparities in Louisiana. The PD-KCA provides a degree-granting training program, the Masters in Clinical Research (MSCR), mentorship, and a variety of educational research resources to aid Scholars from different health professionals throughout Louisiana. The PD-KCA research plans are based on the following specific aims: (1) develop programs that support clinical and translational research training, career development, and mentoring that specifically targets multiple health care disciplines and (2) develop, provide and coordinate accessible resources to aid faculty and trainees in developing, initiating, executing, analyzing, and disseminating clinical/translational research. The PD-KCA will implement the research plan by creating an academic “home” that provides clinical and translational research training tailored to Scholars with a wider range of research experience (e.g. students to postdoctoral fellows) and from different professional disciplines (e.g. medicine, psychology, dentistry, nursing, etc.). This cross-institutional structured approach has been developed to include collaborating LA CaTS institutions throughout the state of Louisiana. The PD-KCA plans to provide training and research resources, including courses in the MSCR curriculum on site and by Distance Learning, access to a centralized clinical trial enrollment center, the new Risk Assessment Clinic in the Louisiana Cancer Research Center, the state-wide virtual biorepository resource, and “team science” projects focused on health disparities diseases outcomes to promote research team collaborations. Distance Learning is key in providing Scholars access to all PD-KCA resources; therefore, a centralized compendium of MSCR courses and research tool kits will be provided via an asynchronous system. Overall, the PD-KCA intends to recruit, educate, and train Scholars from various health care disciplines in clinical and translational research focused on health disparities diseases in order to improve health outcomes that now negatively affect the citizens of Louisiana.
