A1: CLINICAL RESEARCH FACULTY DEVELOPMENT

该子项目是利用NIH/NCRR资助的中心赠款提供的资源的许多研究子项目之一。子项目和研究者（PI）可能从另一个NIH来源获得了主要资金，因此可以在其他CRISP条目中表示。所列机构为中心机构，不一定是研究者机构。在过去的一年中，RCMI临床研究中心成功地提供了NIH赞助的课程<$临床研究的原则和实践<$，有63人的记录注册，包括教师，学生和社区成员。本课程已成为UPR医学科学校园培训资源的一个组成部分，为那些有兴趣发展或进一步提高他们的临床技能。除了这门课程，RCMI-CRC还部分赞助了一个为期2天的研讨会，题为“临床试验的现代方法”，来自MD安德森癌症中心和德克萨斯大学生物统计学和应用数学系的教员参加了研讨会。Peter Thall博士、尹国胜博士和Mark Munsell先生讨论了包括临床试验设计、贝叶斯概念和随机化在内的各种关键主题，为CRC研究者提供了一个独特的机会，以提高他们在临床试验设计和分析方面的知识和技能。作为我们访问科学家计划的一部分，明尼苏达大学神经病学教授William Kennedy博士在RCMI-CRC教师发展部分的部分支持下访问了NeuroAIDS研究计划。Kennedy博士发表了关于皮肤神经支配作为研究小纤维神经病变的方法的评估的演讲，并一直在合作建立共聚焦显微镜技术在皮肤神经支配实验室中应用的方法学。

This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. During this past year the RCMI-Clinical Research Center successfully offered the NIH-sponsored course ¿Principles and Practice of Clinical Research¿, with a record enrollment of 63 individuals, comprising faculty members, students and members of the community at large. This course has become an integral part of the training resources at the UPR-Medical Sciences Campus for those interested in developing or further enhancing their clinical skills. In addition to this course, the RCMI-CRC partially sponsored a 2-day seminar titled ¿ Modern Methods for Clinical Trials¿, with faculty members from the department of Biostatistics and Applied Mathematics at the MD Anderson Cancer Center and the University of Texas. Dr. Peter Thall, Dr. Guosheng Yin and Mr. Mark Munsell discussed various critical topics including clinical trial design, Bayesian Concepts and randomization, providing a unique opportunity of the CRC investigators to enhance their knowledge and skills in clinical trials design and analysis. As part of our visiting scientist program, Dr. William Kennedy, Professor of Neurology at the University of Minnesota, visited the NeuroAIDS research program with partial support from the RCMI-CRC faculty development component. Dr. Kennedy gave a lecture in the assessment of cutaneous innervation as a method to study small fiber neuropathies and has been collaborating in establishing the methododology for the application of confocal microscopy techniques in the cutaneous innervation laboratory.
