Clinical Research Curriculum Award

这项申请是我们现有临床研究课程奖(K30)的竞争性续订 该计划于2000年10月获得资助。我们目前的计划包括有针对性的临床研究培训 以流行病学和预防医学硕士学位为中心，具有临床研究轨道，以及 马里兰大学医学院、护理学院向所有研究人员开放的一系列短期课程 药房和牙科。这项计划非常成功，在临床上引起了极大的兴趣 开展科研活动，培养一支训练有素的优秀临床科研干部队伍。然而，由于 随着计划的发展，我们越来越意识到流行病学方面的重点培训 我们的计划只涵盖部分临床研究领域，其中包括患者- 面向研究、流行病学研究、行为研究和结果/卫生服务研究。 为了给我们的学员提供最佳的灵活性，我们创建了一个新的临床理科硕士 流行病学和预防医学系(DEPM)研究(MSCR)学位。MSCR 学生可以专注于四个临床研究领域之一：流行病学、结果/卫生服务 研究、人类遗传学或研究伦理。未接受过临床研究正式培训的学员将 鼓励他们完成学位课程。接受过临床研究正式培训的受训人员(例如， 每小时英里数。)可以使用该计划通过有重点的课程作业、讲座和研讨会来增强技能 有指导的研究经验。所有受训者将在他们的研究中完成一个有指导的研究项目 感兴趣的领域，利用我们提供的优秀临床研究导师库 机构。项目负责人将帮助学员建立一个有效的指导团队。实习生和 参与该计划的导师将接受专门的培训，以优化导师与学员的关系。 最后，我们将继续并扩大我们目前提供的短期课程，为外部调查人员提供 正式的培训计划，有机会进行进一步的临床研究培训。 这项临床研究培训计划的长期目标是培养出 1)了解与进行合理的临床研究相关的复杂问题；2) 3)在为临床研究寻求外部支持方面具有竞争力。详细信息请参阅 叙事性。

This application is a competitive renewal of our existing Clinical Research Curriculum Award (K30) program, which was funded in October 2000. Our current program includes focused clinical research training centered on a M.S. in Epidemiology and Preventive Medicine with a Clinical Research Track, as well as a series of short courses open to all investigators at the University of Maryland Schools of Medicine, Nursing, Pharmacy, and Dentistry. This program has been highly successful, generating substantial interest in clinical research activities and developing an outstanding cadre of well-trained clinical investigators. However, as the program has grown, we have become increasingly aware that the focused training in epidemiology provided by our program covers only part of the field of clinical research, which encompasses patient- oriented research, epidemiologic research, behavioral research, and outcomes/health services research. To provide optimal flexibility for our trainees, we have created a new Master's of Science in Clinical Research (MSCR) degree in the Department of Epidemiology and Preventive Medicine (DEPM). MSCR students can concentrate in one of four clinical research areas: epidemiology, outcomes/health services research, human genetics, or research ethics. Trainees with no formal training in clinical research will be encouraged to complete the degree program. Trainees with formal training in clinical research (e.g., a M.P.H.) can use the program to augment their skills with focused course work, lectures and workshops and the mentored research experience. All trainees will complete a mentored research project in their research area of interest, taking advantage of the excellent pool of clinical research mentors available at our institution. The Program Directors will help trainees develop an effective mentoring team. Both trainees and mentors participating in the program will receive specific training to optimize the mentor-mentee relationship. Finally, we will continue and expand our current offerings of short courses, to provide investigators outside of the formal training program with opportunities for further clinical research training. The long-term goal of this clinical research training program is to produce clinical researchers who are 1) knowledgeable about the complex issues associated with conducting sound clinical research; 2) published; and 3) competitive in seeking external support for clinical research.
