POSTDOCTORAL TRAINING IN CLINICAL GENETICS RESEARCH

产品说明：这一新的申请机构NRSA的目的是提供博士后研究培训连接遗传学和护理研究。主要目标将是将遗传研究纳入护理科学家的研究计划。该培训旨在为博士后学生提供机会，以扩展他们在临床遗传护理研究方面的知识和技能，重点是a）个人和家庭对遗传信息，诊断和风险因素的反应，特别是社会经济，种族和民族因素; B）基因-环境-行为关系和干预措施，以管理和降低特定健康问题的风险，以及c）对与人类健康和疾病有关的遗传因素进行基于人口的监测和干预。第二个目标是将护理研究纳入遗传学科学家的博士后培训。该计划的具体目标是：1）为博士后护理研究员提供为期2年的严格的遗传学研究理论，方法和应用的跨学科培训; 2）准备博士后水平的护士进行遗传学相关主题的独立研究; 3）为学院与学员的研究合作和导师制创造机会，以及跨学科的教师研究合作的额外机会; 4）整合护理研究的博士后培训选定的遗传科学家; 5）通过为期2个月的暑期强化短期培训计划，激发对遗传学和护理研究的兴趣和招聘; 6）在现有的护理博士课程中，发展一个遗传学的博士前培训项目; 7）培养初级护理教师的指导能力; 8）通过培养一批精通临床遗传学研究的科学家，促进护理和基因组学的发展。

DESCRIPTION: The purpose of this new application for an Institutional NRSA is to provide post-doctoral research training linking genetics and nursing research. The primary goal will be to incorporate genetic research into programs of research for nurse scientists. The training is designed to provide opportunities for post-doctoral students to extend their knowledge and skills in clinical genetic nursing research with an emphasis on a) individual and family responses to genetic information, diagnosis, and risk factors especially with regard to socio-economic, race, and ethnicity factors; b) gene-environment-behavioral relationships and interventions for management and risk reduction of specific health problems, and c) population based surveillance and interventions regarding genetic factors related to human health and disease. A secondary goal is to integrate nursing research within post-doctoral training for genetics scientists. The specific objectives of this program are to: 1) provide rigorous 2-year interdisciplinary training in the theories, methods, and applications of genetics research for post-doctoral nursing fellows; 2) prepare nurses at the post-doctoral level to conduct independent research on genetics related topics; 3) generate opportunities for faculty-trainee research collaboration and mentorship, as well as additional opportunities for interdisciplinary faculty research collaboration; 4) integrate nursing research in the post-doctoral training for selected genetic scientists; 5) stimulate interest and recruitment into genetics and nursing research through a 2-month summer intensive short-term training program; 6) develop a predoctoral training program as a focal track in genetics in the existing PhD nursing program; 7) foster the mentoring capabilities of junior nursing faculty; 8) contribute to the advancement of nursing and genomics by preparing a cadre of scientists who are skilled in clinical genetics research.
