Duke Predoctoral Clinical Research Training Program(RMI)

描述(由申请人提供)：美国国立卫生研究院已经认识到在学术中心和私人诊所建立强大的临床研究人员网络的迫切需要。因此，NIH路线图鼓励研究机构扩大他们的临床研究培训计划。以下应用程序响应RFA-RM-05-015：博士前临床研究培训计划，描述了杜克大学将如何利用其广泛的资源在多个学科建立强大的临床研究人员管道。该计划涉及杜克大学的四个机构项目：1)医学院，2)护理学院，3)物理和职业治疗博士项目，4)医学物理学博士项目；并由三个主要部分组成：A)核心课程，为所有学生建立基础临床研究基础；B)短期研究经验，强调每年12名学员的动手实践课程；以及c)每年为12名学员提供为期一年或两年的强化研究经验，其中将包括学员可选择获得临床研究健康科学硕士证书或学位。博士前临床研究计划将与我们的临床研究和培训基础设施相结合，同时保持“以学生为中心”的重点，以满足博士前实习生的独特需求。杜克大学为博士后和初级教师提供广泛而富有成效的培训计划。我们将利用这一机构的经验来定制高质量的、全面的博士前项目，从而填补一个关键的教育缺口。我们必须在职业决策过程中更早地吸引有前途的实习生。新鲜的思维对于提高知识、改变临床实践和改善患者预后至关重要。高质量的临床研究需要掌握各种不同的技术知识和技能。此外，临床研究不再是医生的专属领域。一个成功的研究企业现在需要跨传统学科的协作。由积极进取的提供者和训练有素的临床医生研究人员组成的团队将处于最佳地位，以确保公共卫生的未来。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The National Institutes of Health has recognized the critical need for a strong network of clinical researchers in academic centers and private practice. Consequently, the NIH Roadmap has encouraged research institutions to amplify their clinical research training programs. The following application, in response to RFA-RM-05-015: Predoctoral Clinical Research Training Programs, describes how Duke University will leverage its extensive resources to build a robust pipeline of clinical researchers in multiple disciplines. The proposed Program involves four institutional programs at Duke: 1) the School of Medicine, 2) the School of Nursing, 3) the Doctoral Program in Physical and Occupational Therapy, and 4) the Doctoral Program in Medical Physics; and consists of three main components: A) A Core Curriculum, to establish a basic clinical research foundation for all students; B) A Short-Term Research Experience, emphasizing hands-on practical sessions for 12 trainees per year; and C) An Intensive, One or Two-Year Research Experience for 12 trainees per year, which will include an option for trainees to obtain either a certificate or a degree of Masters of Health Sciences in Clinical Research. The Predoctoral Clinical Research Program will integrate with our clinical research and training infrastructure, while maintaining a "student-centric" focus to address the unique needs of predoctoral trainees. Duke University has extensive, productive training programs for postdoctoral students and junior faculty. We will leverage this institutional experience to tailor a quality, comprehensive predoctoral program, thereby filling a crucial educational gap. We must attract promising trainees earlier in the career decision-making process. Fresh minds are crucial for advancing knowledge, changing clinical practice, and improving patient outcomes. High-quality clinical research requires mastery of a diverse body of technical knowledge and skills. In addition, clinical research is no longer the exclusive domain of physicians. A successful research enterprise now requires collaboration across traditional disciplines. Teams of motivated providers and trained clinician researchers will be best positioned to secure the future of public health.
