CLINICAL RESEARCH CURRICULUM AWARD

该提案的目标是获得临床研究课程奖（CRCA），该奖项将支持南卡罗来纳州医科大学（MUSC）的基础广泛的多学科临床研究培训计划。MUSC致力于培养医学和牙科学生，研究员和卫生专业的教师，旨在培养准备充分的临床研究人员，他们可以利用基本发现并将其转化为临床环境。MUSC已经建立了为临床研究课程（CRC）提供坚实基础的培训计划，包括由NIH支持的医学科学家培训计划。CRCA将提供资源，通过扩展内容，提高教学质量，为临床研究和研究提供指导，并为每位参与者协调教学课程和监督研究的综合计划，来利用MUSC积极培训计划的优势。其结果是一个全面的为期两年的临床研究课程，是定制的利益和动机的个人在他们的教育和职业发展的关键阶段的需求，从学生到初级教师的地位。该计划的具体目标是：（1）仔细确定一组6-10名学生，研究员和教师作为高度积极的录取;（2）指导学员设计，资助和临床研究项目的负责任的行为;和（3）产生高技能，创造性，独立的临床研究人员，在完成培训后，可以更有效地竞争研究资金。

The goal of this proposal is to obtain a Clinical Research Curriculum Award (CRCA) that will support a broad-based, multidisciplinary, clinical research training program at the Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC). MUSC is committed to training students in medicine and dentistry, fellows, and faculty in the health professions with an aim of developing well-prepared clinical investigators who can capitalize on fundamental discoveries and translate them to clinical settings. MUSC has established training programs that provide a firm basis for the Clinical Research Curriculum (CRC), including a Medical Scientist Training Program supported by the NIH. A CRCA will provide resources that leverage the strengths of active training programs at MUSC by expanding content, improving the quality of instruction, providing mentorship for both clinical research and grantsmanship, and coordinating an integrated program of didactic courses and supervised research for each participant. The result is a comprehensive two-year clinical research curriculum that is customized to the interests and needs of motivated individuals at critical stages of their education and career development, from student to junior faculty status. The specific aims of the program are to: (1) carefully identify a select group of 6-10 students, fellows and faculty as highly motivated matriculants; (2) mentor trainees in the design, funding and responsible conduct of clinical research projects; and (3) produce highly skilled, creative, independent clinical investigators who, upon completion of their training, can more effectively compete for research funding.
