DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The goal of the Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM) Research Training Program (CRTP) at UNC is to develop independent researchers who will investigate mechanisms, effectiveness, safety and quality of CAM therapies, and who will assume academic leadership roles in CAM research. CRPT provides a rigorous, comprehensive 2-year curriculum featuring: 1) formal advanced training in research methods and biostatistics at the UNC School of Public Health, leading to a Masters of Public Health; 2) faculty- mentored hands-on involvement in one or more CAM research projects; 3) formal coursework in concepts and practices of a wide range of CAM therapies; 4) interaction with other fellows and colleagues for purposes of developing presentation skills, analysis of others' work and collegia! support; and 5) additional training in practical academic skills including grant preparation, teaching methods and limited clinical work while maintaining relevance to CAM research. The training program will accept one postdoctoral fellow each year for a total of 2 fellows (1 junior, 1 senior) every year. Key program components include: a) early identification of a research mentor with interests consonant with the trainee - establishing the "junior colleague" relationship; b) in-depth education in CAM, including lectures & demonstrations, research seminars, and observation of CAM clinical activities; and c) targeted research training outcomes in the form of writing, presentations, & development of applications for funding. The program will take advantage of considerable institutional strengths in public health & basic & clinical research. Performance will be monitored through mentor-trainee meetings, seminar participation, and feedback with program directors. Fellows will meet with the Director monthly for progress assessment. The fellowship will be evaluated bi- yearly by an Advisory Committee. Completion of coursework (MPH), publications and funding will be tracked to establish the success of the fellowship. An experienced faculty of mentors will provide expert guidance in research design, CAM research, epidemiology, biostatistics, qualitative methods & health outcomes. Primary CRTP faculty are experienced in CAM content areas of mind-body medicine, acupuncture, herbal medicine/supplements, and have conducted basic and clinical research in HIV, neurological disorders, genetics, asthma, Gl motility disorders, arthritis, chronic pain, cancer, and cardiovascular disease.

补充和替代医学（CAM）研究培训计划（CRTP）的目标是培养独立的研究人员，他们将调查CAM疗法的机制，有效性，安全性和质量，并将在CAM研究中担任学术领导角色。CRPT提供了一个严格的，全面的2年制课程特色：1）在研究方法和生物统计学的正式高级培训在公共卫生学院，导致公共卫生硕士; 2）教师指导动手参与一个或多个CAM研究项目; 3）在广泛的CAM疗法的概念和实践的正式课程; 4）与其他研究员和同事互动，以发展演讲技巧，分析他人的工作和collegia！支持;和5）在保持与CAM研究相关性的同时，在实践学术技能方面进行额外的培训，包括拨款准备、教学方法和有限的临床工作。培养计划每年招收1名博士后研究员，每年招收2名研究员（1名初级，1名高级）。主要方案组成部分包括：a）尽早确定与受训者兴趣一致的研究导师-建立“初级同事”关系; B）CAM的深入教育，包括讲座和演示、研究研讨会以及CAM临床活动的观察;以及c）以写作、演讲和开发资金申请的形式提供有针对性的研究培训成果。该计划将利用公共卫生、基础和临床研究方面的相当大的机构优势。绩效将通过导师-学员会议、研讨会参与和项目主管的反馈进行监控。研究员将每月与主任会晤，评估进展情况。研究金将由咨询委员会每两年评估一次.完成课程（MPH），出版物和资金将被跟踪，以建立奖学金的成功。经验丰富的导师将在研究设计，CAM研究，流行病学，生物统计学，定性方法和健康结果方面提供专家指导。初级CRTP教师在身心医学，针灸，草药/补充剂的CAM内容领域经验丰富，并在艾滋病毒，神经系统疾病，遗传学，哮喘，胃肠动力障碍，关节炎，慢性疼痛，癌症和心血管疾病进行了基础和临床研究。
