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医科大学（MUSC）开展基础广泛、多学科的临床研究培训计划。MUSC致力于培养医学和牙科专业的学生、研究员和卫生专业的教师，目的是培养准备充分的临床研究人员，他们可以利用基础发现并将其转化为临床环境。MUSC已经建立了培训计划，为临床研究课程（CRC）提供坚实的基础，包括由美国国立卫生研究院支持的医学科学家培训计划。CRCA将提供资源，通过扩大内容、提高教学质量、为临床研究和资助提供指导、为每个参与者协调教学课程和监督研究的综合计划，来利用MUSC积极培训项目的优势。其结果是一个全面的为期两年的临床研究课程，是定制的兴趣和需要的动机个人在他们的教育和职业发展的关键阶段，从学生到初级教师地位。该计划的具体目标是：(1)仔细挑选出6-10名学生、研究员和教师作为高度积极的预科生；(2)在临床研究项目的设计、资助和负责任的实施方面指导学员；(3)培养高技能、有创造力、独立的临床研究人员，他们在完成培训后可以更有效地竞争研究经费。

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.
