Multidisciplinary Clinical Research Programs (RMI)

产品说明：（申请人提供）：研究人员提出了一个早期职业发展计划（匹兹堡大学多学科临床研究职业发展计划），涉及来自匹兹堡大学健康科学学院和匹兹堡大学医学中心（UPMC）的初级临床研究人员（CR学者）。 CR学者计划的具体目标是1）提供严格的教学培训，包括广泛的研究方法，技术，概念和研究工具，以CR学者具有不同水平的先前研究经验; 2）使CR学者沉浸在多学科研究项目中，并提供领导力，管理，和团队建设，从而促进跨学科的合作和团队的研究方法;第三章为CR学者提供多学科指导和职业指导，并在临床研究项目的开展方面积累经验，完成;以及4）指导CR学者制定和提交竞争性资助申请，从而帮助他们获得CR学者计划之外的研究资金，成为成功的独立临床研究人员。 为了培养来自不同学科的CR学者成为临床研究的领导者，该应用程序汇集了医学，护理，公共卫生，健康和康复科学，药学和牙科医学，大学的许多多学科研究中心以及包括UPMC的广泛临床实体的合作努力。 研究人员将与K30资助的临床研究培训计划的资源，众多的培训赠款和其他培训机会，以及匹兹堡大学整个健康科学企业的研究基础设施一起开发该计划。 CR学者将从事各种类型的多学科临床研究，包括大型和小型临床试验，以患者为导向的研究，流行病学研究，卫生服务研究和转化研究。 将在临床研究、研究伦理和监管、多学科团队工作以及管理和领导技能课程的最佳实践方面开发几种新的教育产品。 一个由经验丰富的联邦资助的高级调查员组成的团队将提供指导。 一个多学科咨询委员会将监督整个计划。 将规划有效的评估策略，以持续评估计划的所有要素，并在需要时进行更改。

DESCRIPTION: (provided by applicant): The investigators propose an early career development program (the University of Pittsburgh's Multidisciplinary Clinical Research Career Development Program) involving junior clinical researchers (the CR scholars) from the six Schools of the Health Sciences at the University of Pittsburgh and the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center (UPMC). Specific objectives of the CR scholars program are 1) to provide rigorous didactic training that encompasses a broad spectrum of research methodologies, technologies, concepts, and research tools to CR scholars with varying levels of prior research experience; 2) to immerse CR scholars in multidisciplinary research programs and provide teaching in leadership, management, and team-building thereby fostering cross-disciplinary collaboration and team approaches to research; 3) to provide multidisciplinary mentoring and career guidance to CR scholars and experiences in the conduct of clinical research projects from conceptualization to completion; and 4) to guide CR scholars in the development and submission of competitive grant applications and thereby helping them secure research funding beyond the CR scholars program to become successful independent clinical researchers. To train CR scholars from various disciplines to become leaders in clinical research, the application brings together the collaborative efforts of the Schools of Medicine, Nursing, Public Health, Health and Rehabilitation Sciences, Pharmacy, and Dental Medicine, the many multidisciplinary research centers at the University, and the extensive clinical entities that comprise the UPMC. The investigators will develop this program together with the resources of the K30 funded Clinical Research Training Program, the numerous training grants, and other training opportunities currently existing at the University, as well as the research infrastructure of the entire health sciences enterprise at the University of Pittsburgh. The CR scholars will engage in diverse types of multidisciplinary clinical research, including large and small clinical trials, patient-oriented research, epidemiologic studies, health services research, and translational research. Several new educational offerings will be developed in best practices in clinical research, research ethics and regulation, working in multidisciplinary teams, and courses in management and leadership skills. A team of highly experienced federally funded senior investigators will provide mentoring. A Multidisciplinary Advisory Committee will oversee the entire program. Effective evaluation strategies will be planned to continuously evaluate all of the elements of the program and to make changes if needed.
