Professional Development Core

专业发展核心项目摘要 专业发展是努力加强生物医学研究活动的一个关键组成部分， 大平原IDEA临床和转化研究（GP IDEA-CTR）网络。专业 开发核心（PDC）将作为GP IDEA-CTR中所有专业开发活动的中心， 利用合作伙伴网站的教师的不同优势。作为枢纽，所有专业发展 活动将通过该核心进行，其他核心和合作者将充当辐条， PDC提供的专业培训活动。教育课程将继续解决CTR问题 核心竞争力领域的科学交流，团队科学，翻译团队合作，领导力，和 跨专业培训，以提高我们调查人员的竞争力。基于团队的指导将是 PDC的一个重点领域，目标是支持GP IDEA-CTR在招募和 有效地培训科学家团队合作，开发创新，最先进的临床和转化 科学我们将继续发展我们的CTR导师网络， 有组织的导师培训和接受/提供辅导的实践机会，并开发了一个工具 原型将连接有抱负的CTR学员到合适的导师。PDC的具体目标是：1） 在整个GP IDEA-CTR中促进有效的专业发展活动和教育CTR产品 与从事CTR的人员建立网络，以提高研究能力、生产力和影响力; 2）提供 为CTR研究人员在所有职业阶段提供结构化的指导和导师培训，重点是我们的 创新的以团队为基础的指导模式;以及3）扩大正式计划，以支持发展， 保留那些准备作为CTR调查员竞争外部资金的早期职业教师。的 PDC提供的培训资源和基础设施是内布拉斯加州及其周边地区所独有的。 平原地区，并将提供所需的支持，CTR能力在我们的地区。

Professional Development Core Project Summary Professional development is a critical component of efforts to enhance biomedical research activities across the Great Plains IDeA Clinical and Translational Research (GP IDeA-CTR) Network. The Professional Development Core (PDC) will act as the hub of all professional development activities in the GP IDeA-CTR, leveraging the diverse strengths of faculty across partner sites. As the hub, all professional development activities will be routed through this Core, with other Cores and collaborators acting as spokes that will offer specialized training activities facilitated by the PDC. Educational offerings will continue to address the CTR core competency areas of scientific communication, team science, translational teamwork, leadership, and cross-disciplinary training to enhance the competitiveness of our investigators. Team-based mentoring will be an area of emphasis for the PDC with the goal of supporting the GP IDeA-CTR’s efforts to recruit and effectively train scientists to work in teams to develop innovative, state-of-the-art clinical and translational science. We will continue to develop our network of CTR mentors across institutions where we have provided structured mentor training and hands-on opportunities to receive/provide mentoring and have developed a tool prototype that will connect aspiring CTR trainees to suitable mentors. The PDC specific aims are to 1) Facilitate effective professional development activities and educational CTR offerings across the GP IDeA-CTR Network to those engaged in CTR to enhance research competency, productivity, and impact; 2) Provide structured mentoring and mentor training for CTR researchers at all career stages with a focus on our innovative team-based mentorship model; and 3) Expand formal programs to support the development and retention of early-career faculty who are preparing to compete for external funding as CTR investigators. The training resources and infrastructure provided by the PDC are unique to Nebraska and the surrounding Great Plains region and will provide the needed support for CTR capacity across our region.
