DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): As increasing numbers of Americans avail themselves of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM), the need grows for clinical research to evaluate their safety and efficacy. It has been difficult to meet this need because few medical practitioners in either allopathic or CAM modalities are specifically trained to conduct clinical research. Six departments at three major, established health institutions in the Twin Cities metropolitan area have established the Minnesota CAM Research Consortium to offer the proposed Minnesota Program for Clinical Research in CAM. The Program includes didactic curriculum in research methodology, with particular emphasis on applications in CAM. Completion of the didactic curriculum leads to an M.S. degree at the University of Minnesota either in Clinical Research, or Health Services Research and Policy, with a Graduate Minor in Complementary Therapies and Healing Practices. The Program also includes monthly symposia on topics relevant to CAM clinical research, plus an intensive summer program reviewing all aspects of the research process. Finally, the Program includes Trainee involvement in an on-going CAM clinical research project. Participating institutions are Hennepin Faculty Associates, Northwestern Health Sciences University, and the University of Minnesota. The lead organization is the world-renowned Berman Center for Outcomes and Clinical Research, at the Minneapolis Medical Research Foundation of Hennepin Faculty Associates. Dr. Richard Grimm is Program Director. The Program will produce a highly trained cadre of clinical investigators with the knowledge and experience to becoming leading researchers in CAM.

描述（由申请人提供）：随着越来越多的美国人利用补充和替代医学（CAM），需要增加临床研究，以评估其安全性和有效性。这是很难满足这一需要，因为很少有医生在对抗疗法或CAM模式专门培训进行临床研究。 双城大都会地区三个主要的、成熟的卫生机构的六个部门建立了明尼苏达州CAM研究联盟，以提供拟议的明尼苏达州CAM临床研究计划。该计划包括研究方法的教学课程，特别强调CAM的应用。教学课程的完成导致一个M.S.明尼苏达大学临床研究或卫生服务研究与政策专业学位，辅修补充疗法和治疗实践专业。该计划还包括与CAM临床研究相关的每月专题讨论会，以及审查研究过程各个方面的密集夏季计划。 最后，该计划包括学员参与正在进行的CAM临床研究项目。 参与机构包括Hennepin Faculty Associates、西北健康科学大学和明尼苏达大学。牵头组织是世界著名的伯曼成果和临床研究中心，位于明尼阿波利斯Hennepin Faculty Associates医学研究基金会。Richard Grimm博士是项目主任。 该计划将产生一批训练有素的临床研究人员，他们具有成为CAM领先研究人员的知识和经验。
