Clinical Research Curriculum Award

描述（由申请人提供）： 威斯康星州的2年临床研究培训计划的医学院的目标是准备每个K30参与者作为一个有效和富有成效的临床研究者。 该计划旨在解决具有不同背景和广泛的研究相关技能的个人的临床研究培训需求。 根据学员对课程的评价和他们的学术成就，该方案是成功的。 核心课程继续发展，包括40个结构化的研讨会，重点是7个主要主题领域或“主题”：I。临床研究职业发展;二。研究设计和生物统计学; III.研究的道德行为;四。创新概念和新技术在研究中的应用; V.通过出版物和演讲进行科学交流; VI.准备竞争性赠款申请;和七。研究项目管理。 其他计划要求包括生物伦理学的在线培训和认证，研究导师的指导，参加导师研讨会，以及成功完成研究方法课程。 每个项目候选人的申请过程为根据个人学习需求量身定制的个性化培训的发展奠定了基础。 在研究设计方面几乎没有技能的受训者需要额外的课程来满足他们的学习需求。 临床研究培训涉及与该机构的一般临床研究中心（GCRC），研究生院和联邦指定的生物医学研究中心的密切合作。 所有成功完成培训课程的个人都将获得认可证书。 此外，到目前为止，我们三分之一的受训人员获得了流行病学、公共卫生或生物伦理学硕士学位。 在接下来的五年里，我们建议扩大课程，更加重视将基础科学概念融入课程，增加一名基础科学家到教师队伍中，将受训人员的数量从12人增加到16人，开发一个资源库，与另一个机构的K30计划共享一些资源，并聘请外部顾问评估该计划。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The goal of the Medical College of Wisconsin's 2-year clinical research-training program is to prepare each K30 participant to function as an effective and productive clinical investigator. The program is designed to address the clinical research training needs of individuals with diverse backgrounds and a broad range of research-related skills. Based on the evaluation of the curriculum by the trainees and their academic accomplishments, the program has been successful. The core curriculum continues to evolve and consists of 40-structured seminar sessions, which are focused on 7 major topic areas or "themes": I. Clinical Research Career Development; II. Study Design and Biostatistics; III. Ethical Conduct of Research; IV. Application of Innovative Concepts and New Technologies to Research; V. Scientific Communication through Publications and Presentations; VI. Preparation of Competitive Grant Applications; and VII. Research Project Management. Other program requirements include online training and certification in bioethics, guidance by a research mentor, attendance at a mentorship workshop, and successful completion of course in research methods. The application process for each program candidate provides the foundation for the development of individualized training tailored to the learning needs of the individual. Trainees who have few or no skills in study design take additional coursework to meet their learning needs. The clinical research training involves a close collaboration with the institution's General Clinical Research Center (GCRC), the graduate school, and federally designated centers for biomedical research. A certificate of recognition is awarded to all individuals who successfully complete the training program. In addition, to date, one-third of our trainees have obtained a masters degree in epidemiology, public health or bioethics. Over the next five years, we propose to expand the curriculum to place greater emphasis on integrating basic science concepts into the curriculum, adding a basic scientist to the faculty, increasing the number of trainees from 12 to 16, developing a library of resources, sharing some resources with the K30 program at another institution, and employing an external consultant to evaluate the program.
