Case/Cleveland Clinical Research Training Program (RMI)

描述：（由申请人提供）：病例/克利夫兰临床多学科临床研究培训计划是凯斯西储大学（CWRU）、克利夫兰诊所勒纳医学院（CCLCM）、克利夫兰大学医院和MetroHealth医疗中心之间的合作伙伴关系，旨在培养博士后临床研究（CR）学者，从而帮助转变和加强国家的CR事业。该计划包括一个新颖的教育课程，积极学习的重点是实现基于团队的能力，使CR学者能够在多学科环境中进行有效的临床研究项目。CR学者将被选中代表不同的专业学科和临床兴趣，重点是代表性不足的群体，并有机会获得一大群忠诚的导师，以确保他们发展成为世界级的临床研究者。该课程将采用类似于为新CCLCM开发的基于案例的主动学习过程的方法，CCLCM的使命是培养下一代内科科学家。指导过程将利用凯斯韦瑟黑德管理学院的领导专业知识。每位CR学者至少有两名导师指导其设计和开展有效的研究项目。来自项目合作机构（和工业界）的大力支持将用于扩大共享的CR学者资源中心，该中心将包括一个孵化器，以促进指导研究经验。该项目将协助培训下一代临床研究领导者，促进基础研究发现快速转化为临床使用的有效疗法。与NIH路线图一致，该计划将成为重新设计临床研究企业的强大国家模式。它将在2007年主办一次关于这一主题的全国会议，以交流“经验教训”，并评估美国国立卫生研究院资助的项目如何达到这一战略目标。

DESCRIPTION: (provided by applicant): The Case/Cleveland Clinic Multidisciplinary Clinical Research Training Program is a partnership among Case Western Reserve University (CWRU), Cleveland Clinic Lerner College of Medicine (CCLCM) of CWRU, University Hospitals of Cleveland, and MetroHealth Medical Center to train postdoctoral Clinical Research (CR) scholars and thereby help to transform and strengthen the Nation's CR enterprise. The Program includes a novel educational curriculum with active learning focused on achieving teambased competencies, enabling CR scholars to undertake effective clinical research projects in multidisciplinary settings. CR scholars will be selected to represent various professional disciplines and clinical interests, with an emphasis on underrepresented groups, and have access to a large group of committed mentors who ensure their development as world-class clinical investigators. The curriculum will use methods similar to the active case-based learning process developed for the new CCLCM, whose mission is to train the next generation of physician-scientists. The mentoring process will take advantage of leadership expertise within the Case Weatherhead School of Management. At least two mentors will provide guidance for each CR Scholar in designing and undertaking effective research projects. Strong support from the Program's partner institutions (and from industry) will be used to expand the shared CR scholar resource center that will include an incubator to facilitate mentored research experiences. The Program will assist in training the next generation of clinical research leaders, facilitating the rapid translation of basic research discoveries into effective therapies for use in the clinic. Consistent with the NIH Roadmap, the Program will be a powerful national model for re-engineering the clinical research enterprise. It will host a national conference on this theme during 2007 to exchange "lessons learned" and evaluate how NIH-sponsored programs are measuring up to this strategic goal.
