描述(由申请人提供)：研究人员建议在加州大学旧金山分校建立一个多学科临床研究职业发展计划(Roadmap-K12)。他们将招聘一批优秀和多样化的学者担任研究员和初级教员职位，并采取措施吸引来自代表性不足的专业和少数族裔的顶尖申请者。他们将提供临床研究硕士学位的教学培训；监督来自加州大学旧金山分校范围内的多学科研究团队的学者的指导实践经验；并在75,000平方英尺的加州大学临床研究设施内的出色宿舍内安排杰出的核心方法学家和其他临床研究基础设施人员。加州大学旧金山分校学科的质量和广度将在最初几年培养该项目，然后为Roadmap-K12校友提供一个理想的基础，让他们在未来引领新的方向。特别的优势是：机构承诺--大量的财政捐助，非常有利的空间，校长和院长的亲自参与，改善临床研究人员职业和终身教职过程的计划，以及所有临床科主任参与提名导师；加州大学旧金山分校的环境质量和广度，拥有一流的研究丰富的牙科、医学、护理和药学学院；三个GCRC；以及杰出的教职员工、研究员和学生；在过去五年中培训了773名研究员和教职员工的非常成功的K30计划；代表所有四所学校的院系和主要中心的熟练和经验丰富的导师；一位拥有时间、技能和经验的计划主任，非常适合领导加州大学旧金山分校的路线图-K12；多学科咨询委员会及其执行小组，由代表广泛的临床、社会科学、生物学和定量学科的加州大学旧金山分校领导组成；一个基于网络的系统，用于评估计划的表现和跟踪职业成果。研究人员将扩展他们的开放访问网站和出版物，以传播开发到其他路线图项目和大学的模型、材料和系统，并以极大的热情参与国家NIH路线图计划，以重新设计临床研究企业。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The investigators propose to establish a Multidisciplinary Clinical Research Career Development Program (Roadmap-K12) at UCSF. They will recruit an excellent and diverse group of Scholars to fellowship and junior faculty positions, and take steps to attract top caliber applicants from under-represented specialties and ethnic minorities. They will provide the didactic training for a Master's Degree in Clinical Research; oversee the mentored practicum experience of Scholars in multidisciplinary research teams drawn from across the UCSF spectrum; and surround them with outstanding core methodologists and other clinical research infrastructure personnel in excellent quarters within the 75,000 square feet UCSF Clinical Research Facility. The quality and breadth of disciplines at UCSF will foster the program during its early years, then provide an ideal substrate for Roadmap-K12 alumni to lead in new directions in the future. Particular strengths are: the institutional commitment - a substantial financial contribution, highly conducive space, the personal participation of the Chancellors and Deans, plans for improving the career and tenure process for clinical investigators, and the involvement of all clinical department chairs in nominating the mentors; the quality and breadth of the setting at UCSF, with top-rated research-rich Schools of Dentistry, Medicine, Nursing, and Pharmacy; three GCRCs; and outstanding faculty, fellows, and students; the highly successful K30 program that has trained 773 fellows and faculty in the past five years; skilled and experienced mentors, representing the departments and major centers of all four schools; a Program Director with time, skills, and experience ideally suited to leading the UCSF Roadmap-K12; the Multidisciplinary Advisory Committee and its Executive Group composed of UCSF leaders who represent a broad set of clinical, social science, biological, and quantitative disciplines; a Web-based system for evaluating the performance of the Program and tracking career outcomes. The investigators will expand their open-access Website and publications to disseminate the models, materials, and systems developed to other Roadmap programs and universities, and participate with great enthusiasm in the national NIH Roadmap Program to Re-engineer the Clinical Research Enterprise.
