Clinical Research Training Program

描述（由申请人提供）： 该提案概述了临床研究培训计划（CRTP）的发展，旨在为有兴趣从事临床生物医学研究职业的优秀研究生研究员和初级教师提供高度集中的培训。 该计划整合了长岛四个密切相关机构（斯托尼布鲁克大学医学中心[牵头机构]，温斯洛普大学医院，布鲁克海文国家实验室和退伍军人事务医疗中心/北港）的资源，为临床学者开发单一的培训环境。 该计划为期两年，第一年是密集的教学培训期，21个月的指导研究期最终导致研究提案的制定。 教学包括流行病学，生物统计学，分子医学/分子遗传学，研究机会介绍，实验临床研究，流行病学研究和临床试验，数据管理和信息学，法律的，医学研究中的伦理和监管问题，以及研究提案的制定等课程。指导研究将在六个高度结构化的跨学科中心（糖尿病/代谢，心血管疾病，感染/伤口愈合，神经精神疾病，癌症和临床结局和流行病学研究）完成，旨在确保研究经验的一致性和成功。 培训的成功完成将最终在临床研究证书从研究生课程在公共卫生（1年），并且，对于那些谁承担所需的额外课程的学员，公共卫生硕士学位的评价科学将被授予。 临床研究培训计划的目标是让参与者为成功竞争研究资金做好准备，并在学术中心建立独立的临床研究者职业生涯。 (End摘要）

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This proposal outlines the development of a Clinical Research Training Program (CRTP) designed to offer highly focused training to outstanding postgraduate fellows and junior faculty interested in pursuing careers in clinical biomedical research. The program integrates resources from four closely-affiliated institutions on Long Island (Stony Brook University Medical Center [Lead Institution], Winthrop University Hospital, Brookhaven National Laboratory, and Veterans Affairs Medical Center/Northport) to develop a single training environment for Clinical Scholars. The program spans two years with an intensive didactic training period in the first year and a 21-month period of mentored research culminating in the development of a research proposal. The didactic teaching includes courses in Epidemiology, Biostatistics, Molecular Medicine/Molecular Genetics, Introduction to Research Opportunities, Experimental Clinical Research, Epidemiological Studies and Clinical Trials, Data Management & Informatics, Legal, Ethical and Regulatory Issues in Medical Research, and Development of a Research Proposal. Mentored research will be completed in six highly-structured, interdisciplinary Centers (Diabetes/Metabolism, Cardiovascular Disease, Infection/Wound Healing, Neuropsychiatric Disorders, Cancer, and Clinical Outcomes and Epidemiology Research), designed to ensure uniformity and success of the research experience. Successful completion of the training will culminate in a Certificate in Clinical Research from the Graduate Program in Public Health (Year 1), and, for those trainees who undertake the additional coursework required, a Master of Public Health degree in Evaluative Sciences will be conferred. The goal of the Clinical Research Training Program is to prepare participants to compete successfully for research funding, and establish careers as independent clinical investigators at academic centers.
