DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Future strategies in pain research and pain management will likely evolve from the collaborative efforts of clinicians and basic researchers working in partnership to identify novel therapeutic targets, along with contributing and predictive factors responsible for the onset and progression of acute and chronic pain. Accomplishing this goal will require multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary approaches utilizing state-of-the art resources along with individuals trained to appreciate the complexities of the biological and psychosocial components of the pain experience. The design of the proposed training program incorporates strategies to accomplish these goals utilizing the diverse backgrounds and well-documented expertise of a core group of training faculty backed by a strong institutional commitment, and a collaborative environment to prepare trainees for careers in pain research. The program offers training opportunities in five designated tracts that represent the research interests of the core faculty. Efforts will focus on recruiting outstanding scientists and clinicians to work with mentors found within the Health Science Center and the McKnight Brain Institute. Clinical facilities located throughout the Medical Center will be used to provide a clinical component to the training program. Trainees will be exposed to a comprehensive program that consists of: (a) didactic and research components as well as (b) required participation in clinical and basic research rotations. The program contains: (a) a well balanced core curriculum; (b) provisions for the recruitment of underrepresented minorities; (c) a required component dealing with the ethical conduct of research; and (d) steps to ensure the program meets the needs of trainees in areas of research, education, and professional development. Due to the escalating prevalence of chronic pain conditions, combined with the staggering cost of pain management, there is a need for novel training strategies for the next generation of pain researchers. The University of Florida pain research community recognizes this challenge and with existing and expanding resources in education and research, there is a commitment to produce pain specialists that will contribute to the improved understanding and clinical management of acute and chronic pain. The goal of the program is to produce individuals equipped to develop clinical and/or basic science research programs and to instill in these individuals an appreciation for the benefits of collaborative, multidisciplinary programs in meeting the present and future challenges in the field of pain research.

描述（由申请人提供）： 疼痛研究和疼痛管理的未来策略可能会通过临床医生和基础研究人员的共同努力来发展，以确定新的治疗靶点，以及导致急性和慢性疼痛发生和进展的影响因素和预测因素。实现这一目标需要采用多学科和跨学科的方法，利用最先进的资源以及经过培训的人员来理解疼痛体验的生物和心理社会成分的复杂性。拟议培训计划的设计结合了实现这些目标的策略，利用核心培训教师团队的不同背景和有据可查的专业知识，并以强有力的机构承诺为后盾，并为学员提供一个为疼痛研究职业做好准备的协作环境。该计划在代表核心教师研究兴趣的五个指定领域提供培训机会。工作重点将是招募杰出的科学家和临床医生，与健康科学中心和麦克奈特脑研究所的导师一起工作。整个医疗中心的临床设施将用于为培训计划提供临床部分。学员将接受一项综合计划，其中包括：(a) 教学和研究部分以及 (b) 所需参与的临床和基础研究轮转。该计划包含： (a) 均衡的核心课程； (b) 关于招募代表性不足的少数群体的规定； (c) 涉及研究道德行为的必要组成部分； (d) 确保该计划满足受训者在研究、教育和专业发展领域的需求的步骤。由于慢性疼痛的患病率不断上升，加上疼痛管理的成本惊人，因此需要为下一代疼痛研究人员制定新颖的培训策略。佛罗里达大学疼痛研究界认识到这一挑战，并利用现有和不断扩大的教育和研究资源，致力于培养疼痛专家，以促进对急性和慢性疼痛的理解和临床管理。该项目的目标是培养有能力开发临床和/或基础科学研究项目的个人，并向这些人灌输对协作、多学科项目在应对疼痛研究领域当前和未来挑战方面的好处的认识。
