CLINICAL RESEARCH CURRICULUM AWARD

该应用程序请求支持开发、实施和评估威斯康星医学院(MCW)临床研究人员培训的全校核心课程。该计划将提供一个为期两年的课程，其中包括一个对所有临床研究人员至关重要的方法学、理论和概念化技能基本领域的通用平台，以及一个针对受训人员研究生涯特定领域的个性化指导的专门平台。该计划是为现有的初级教员、研究培训计划的毕业生和致力于人类相关临床研究的研究员设计的。在第一年，候选人将通过有组织的教学研讨会、研究的小组报告和一对一的研究指导来接受培训。第一年的有组织的研讨会是为了解决以下基本领域：临床研究的定位、科学中的伦理和诚信、研究设计、生物统计分析和科学技术的进步。在第二年，他们通过有组织的研讨会、研究报告和一对一指导，接受额外的培训。第二年的结构化工作机会研讨会旨在解决以下领域：写作、研究综述研究部分、机构审查委员会和临床研究资金来源。该计划招聘小组委员会已经在全校范围内确定了可以从该计划中受益的合格实习生。还确定了具有既定学术和培训技能的教员。对于第一个为期两年的周期，委员会将挑选12名受训人员，并为他们配备合适的导师。该计划的长期目标有三个方面：1)为学员提供理论和实践技能，使他们能够成功竞争同行评审的指导职业奖项资金；2)进一步加强已致力于临床研究的研究人员的努力，并促进他们进行由职业或初级研究奖项资助(或正在进行的)研究的能力；以及3)完善职业生涯中期教职调查人员的技能，从而促进他们的指导作用。凭借其在临床研究资源和承诺方面的历史，以及与密尔沃基地区其他学院和研究所的联盟互动，威斯康星医学院应该为实现这些目标提供一个良好的环境。

This application requests support to develop, implement, and evaluate a college-wide core curriculum for clinical research investigators training at the Medical College of Wisconsin (MCW). The program will offer a 2-year course which includes a general platform in the basic areas of methodology, theory, and conceptualization skills vital for all clinical investigators, as well as a specialized platform of individualized mentorship in areas specific to the trainee's research career. The program is designed for existing junior faculty, graduates of research training programs, and fellows committed to human-related clinical research pursuits. In year one candidates will be trained through structured didactic seminars, group presentation of their research, and one-to-one research mentorship. The structured seminars in year one are developed to address the following basic areas: orientation to clinical reasearch, ethics and integrity in science, research designs, biostatistical analysis, and advances in scientific techniques. In year two they receive additional training through structured workshops, as well as research presentations and one-on-one mentorship. The structured workship seminars in year two are developed to address the following areas: writing, the research review study section, the Institutional Review Board, and sources for clinical research funding. The program recruitment subcommittee has already identified qualified trainees college-wide who could benefit from this program. Faculty preceptors with established academic and training skills have also been identified. For the first 2-year cycle, the committee will select 12 trainees and match them with appropriate mentors. The long-term goal of this program is 3-fold: 1) provide trainees with theoretical and practical skills that will allow them to compete successfully for peer-reviewed mentored career awards funding; 2) further enhance efforts of investigators already committed to pursuing clinical research and facilitating their ability to conduct research funded (or pending) by a career or junior research award; and 3) refine the skills of accomplished mid-career faculty investigators, thereby facilitating their mentorship roles. With its history in clinical research resources and commitments, as well as its consortium interactions with other colleges and institutes within the Milwaukee area, The Medical College of Wisconsin should provide an excellent environment in which to fulfill these goals.
