Clinical Research Curriculum Award

描述(由申请人提供)： 威斯康星医学院为期两年的临床研究培训计划的目标是让每一位K30参与者成为一名有效和多产的临床研究人员。该计划旨在满足具有不同背景和广泛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估和他们的学术成就，该计划是成功的。核心课程继续发展，由40个专题讨论会组成，集中于7个主要主题领域或“主题”：1.临床研究职业发展；2.研究设计和生物统计学；3.研究的伦理行为；4.创新概念和新技术在研究中的应用；5.通过出版物和演讲进行科学交流；6.准备竞争性补助金申请；以及7.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。每个候选方案的申请过程为开发适合个人学习需求的个性化培训奠定了基础。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综合临床研究中心(GCRC)、研究生院和联邦指定的生物医学研究中心的密切合作。所有成功完成培训计划的个人都将获得认可证书。此外，到目前为止，我们的学员中有三分之一获得了流行病学、公共卫生或生物伦理学的硕士学位。在未来五年，我们建议扩展课程，更加重视将基础科学概念融入课程，增加一名基础科学家，将学员人数从12人增加到16人，开发资源库，与另一所院校的K30计划共享部分资源，并聘请外部顾问对计划进行评估。

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.
