Professional Development Core

项目总结：专业发展核心 在路易斯安那州，健康差距，如心血管疾病、糖尿病/肥胖症和 癌症对路易斯安那州公民的影响不成比例。不幸的是，没有足够数量的 研究人员精通临床和转译研究，以解决和缩小这种健康差距。这个 路易斯安那州临床与转化科学(LA CATS)专业发展的总体目标 组件活动(PD-KCA)是在全州范围内教育和培训学术人员和实习生(学者) 从事临床/转化性研究，重点是改善健康结果和减少健康差距 路易斯安那州。PD-KCA提供学位授予培训计划，即临床研究硕士 (MSCR)、导师关系和各种教育研究资源，以帮助来自不同健康状况的学者 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性研究培训、职业发展和指导的计划 具体针对多个医疗保健学科和(2)开发、提供和协调可获得性 帮助教员和受训人员开发、启动、执行、分析和传播的资源 临床/转化性研究。PD-KCA将通过创建一个学术“家”来实施研究计划 提供临床和翻译研究培训，为具有更广泛研究范围的学者量身定做 经验(例如学生到博士后研究员)和来自不同专业学科的经验(例如医学、 心理学、牙科、护理学等)。这种跨机构的结构化方法已被开发为 包括与路易斯安那州的洛杉矶CATS机构合作。PD-KCA计划提供 培训和研究资源，包括MSCR课程的现场课程和远程学习课程， 访问中央临床试验登记中心，路易斯安那州癌症中心的新风险评估诊所 研究中心，全州范围内的虚拟生物信息库资源，以及专注于健康的团队科学项目 疾病结果差异，以促进研究团队合作。远程学习是提供 学者访问所有PD-KCA资源；因此，MSCR课程和 研究工具包将通过一个异步系统提供。总体而言，民主党-克钦独立军打算招募， 在临床和转化性研究方面教育和培训来自不同卫生保健学科的学者 关于健康差距的疾病，以改善目前对#年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.
