DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The American College of Radiology Imaging Network (ACRIN), a NCl-funded cooperative group, is dedicated to conducting rigorous, high quality clinical trials of medical imaging technologies as they relate to cancer. However, the rarity in the past of high quality trials in medical imaging has meant that few radiologists have gained the necessary skills to design and conduct trials or to lead multi-disciplinary teams. ACRIN recognizes that the success of any endeavor to conduct trials of medical imaging is dependent on increasing the cadre of investigators who are sufficiently trained in methodology and organization to develop and lead clinical trials. ACRIN is proposing a fellowship program that insures a succession of trained investigators who will ultimately improve the conduct of rigorous trials into the future and lay the foundations for broader applications of clinical trials in medical imaging. The ACRIN Fellowship program has the following objectives: 1) Train imaging researchers in a multidisciplinary environment to develop and conduct rigorous, multi-institutional clinical trials in medical imaging; 2) Develop competent clinical trials researchers for future leadership in ACRIN and other imaging clinical trials; and 3) Equip radiologists with the knowledge and skills necessary to be competitive for federal clinical research funding. The proposed program seeks to recruit and train, over a two-year program, three individuals per year. The program entails formal on-site education and progressively increasing responsibility working with ACRIN trial teams. The formal educational program will address principles of trial design and an overview of how federally funded clinical trials are developed, approved, executed, supervised, and reported. Involvement in clinical trials will provide an opportunity for fellows to apply what they have learned in the classroom to conducting trials. Fellows who have suitably progreessed will be given an opportunity to develop and lead an ACRIN trial as PI under the tutelege of Program mentors.

描述(由申请人提供)：美国放射成像网络学会(ACRIN)是NCL资助的一个合作组织，致力于对与癌症相关的医学成像技术进行严格、高质量的临床试验。然而，过去很少有高质量的医学成像试验，这意味着很少有放射科医生获得设计和进行试验或领导多学科团队所需的技能。ACRIN认识到，任何进行医学成像试验的努力的成功都取决于增加研究人员队伍，他们在方法学和组织方面接受了充分的培训，以开发和领导临床试验。ACRIN正在提出一项奖学金计划，以确保一系列训练有素的研究人员最终将改善未来严格试验的进行，并为临床试验在医学成像领域的更广泛应用奠定基础。ACRIN奖学金计划有以下目标：1)在多学科环境中培训成像研究人员，以开发和进行严格的、多机构的医学成像临床试验；2)培养称职的临床试验研究人员，为未来在ACRIN和其他成像临床试验中的领导作用；以及3)使放射科医生掌握必要的知识和技能，以竞争联邦临床研究资金。拟议中的计划旨在通过为期两年的计划，每年招募和培训三名个人。该计划需要进行正式的现场培训，并逐步增加与ACRIN试验团队合作的责任。正式的教育计划将阐述试验设计的原则，以及联邦政府资助的临床试验是如何开发、批准、执行、监督和报告的概述。参与临床试验将为研究员提供一个机会，将他们在课堂上学到的知识应用到进行试验中。获得适当进展的研究员将有机会在计划导师的指导下，以PI的身份开发和领导ACRIN试验。
