K30: Clinical Research Curriculum Award - WMC

描述(由申请人提供)： 魏理-康奈尔医学院K30：临床研究课程奖的总体目标是培养以患者为导向的研究人员，在结构良好的跨学科团队环境中构思、设计和进行独立的临床研究。主要目标是提供临床研究的基本技能，并了解与进行此类研究相关的复杂问题。对于这一新项目，威尔医学院、威尔医学研究生院和康奈尔大学伊萨卡校区的研究生院已经建立了联合教学努力。我们建议的课程是建立在医学院和研究生院现有课程、研讨会和技能获取工作坊的强大基础之上的。为实现本提案的目标，增加了新的课程和调整后的课程。教学工具将包括基于计算机的学习和互动视频会议，目前在医学院有效地用于与康奈尔·伊萨卡校区的联合教育项目。 位于医学院校园内的威尔康奈尔医学研究生院将是授予学位的机构。该课程提供了两个为临床调查方面的严格培训而设计的课程。 课程一：提供临床调查基本技能的核心课程，获得临床调查证书。它包括以下方面的培训：1)制定研究假设和假设检验方法；2)撰写补助金和准备稿件；3)数据收集、数据库建设和数据管理系统；4)数据分析的计算机程序；5)临床研究中的统计分析和各种统计技术的适当使用；6)临床研究的基本流行病学原则；7)以病人为中心的研究中的伦理和人类受试者保护；8)临床研究的监管要求；为人权事务委员会和其他机构编写协议；9)赠款管理和知识产权；和10)通用和特定的最先进的研究工具和技术。 课程二：获得临床调查硕士学位，包括1)核心课程(1)；2)学员感兴趣领域的附加选修课；3)临床研究项目的设计和实施指导，并在临床研究中心进行。 为鼓励学员继续在韦尔医学院从事临床研究工作，院长将为取得硕士学位的学员提供为期三至五年的过渡性资助，该资助由院长临床研究学院临床学者计划提供。到目前为止，已筹集了5000万美元，用于支持临床研究人员开展全职或兼职受保护的研究活动，为期三至五年。他还将为需要资金的2-3名合格候选人提供津贴(每名实习生55,000美元)。(摘要结束)

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The overall goal of the K30: Clinical Research Curriculum Award at WeilI-Cornell Medical College is to train patient oriented researchers to conceive, design and conduct independent clinical research in a well-structured cross-disciplinary team environment. The primary objective is to provide the fundamental skills of clinical research and an understanding of the complex issues associated with conducting such research. For this new program, a joint-teaching endeavor has been forged between Weill Medical College, the Weill Graduate School of Medical Sciences, and the Graduate School at the Cornell University Ithaca Campus. Our proposed curriculum is based on a strong infrastructure of existing courses, seminars and skill-acquisition workshops within the medical college and graduate schools. New courses and restructured courses to achieve the goals of this proposal have been added. Teaching tools will include computer-based learning, and interactive video-conferencing, currently effectively in use at the medical school for combined educational programs with the Cornell Ithaca campus. The Weill Cornell Graduate School of Medical Sciences, located on the Medical School campus, will be the degree granting institution. The curriculum offers two tracks that are designed for rigorous training in clinical investigation. Track I: a core curriculum providing the basic skills of clinical investigation, leading to a Certificate in Clinical Investigation. It includes training in: 1) the development of research hypotheses and methods of hypothesis testing; 2) grant writing and manuscript preparation; 3) data collection, construction of databases and data management systems; 4) computer programs for data analysis; 5) statistical analysis and the appropriate use of various statistical techniques in clinical research; 6) basic epidemiologic principles in clinical research; 7) ethics and human subjects protection in the conduct of patient-oriented research; 8) regulatory requirements of clinical research; preparing protocols for the Human Rights Committee and other agencies; 9) grants management and intellectual property; and 10) general and specific state-of-the-art research tools and techniques. Track II: leading to a Masters in Clinical Investigation, includes 1) a core curriculum (Track1); 2) additional electives in the trainee's area of interest; and 3) a clinical research project mentored by a clinical investigator in its design and implementation and conducted in the Clinical Research Center. To encourage trainees to continue their pursuit of a clinical research career at Weill Medical College, the Dean will offer bridge funding, provided by the Dean's Clinical Scholar's Program for Faculty in Clinical Research, for three to five years to trainees who have commendably completed the Masters Degree. To date, $50 million has been raised for the support of clinical investigators for full-time or part-time protected research activities for three to five years. He will also provide stipends ($55,000 per trainee) for 2-3 qualified candidates in need of funding. (End of Abstract)
