PHD in Clinical Research (RMI)

描述（由申请人提供）：我们寻求设计和实施临床研究培训计划，以培养临床研究博士（PhDCR），以准备多学科转化研究团队，以解决不同种族社区的健康差异。跨学科课程将通过课堂教学、研讨会、实验室培训和以社区为基础的体验式学习，重点关注应用生物医学伦理、文化能力和团队建设。来自约翰·a·伯恩斯医学院（JABSOM）、护理和口腔卫生学院（SONDH）、威廉·s·理查森法学院（WSRSL）、商学院、教育部、夏威夷原住民研究、亚洲研究、宗教研究、哲学、社会学和社区其他部门的不同教师将被邀请参与一项多学科方法，以确定和减少健康差异研究的障碍。尤其是在基因组学和临终决策方面。此外，我们将建立与加州大学旧金山分校和其他机构的合作关系，以提高该计划的学术卓越性。我们将鼓励医学生、住院医师、博士后研究员、博士候选人以及初级和少数民族教师参加该计划，确保来自基础和临床科学学科的学生多样化。通过提供跨学科的博士课程，我们寻求增加基础和临床研究人员的骨干队伍，致力于开展具有文化能力的研究，以减少亚洲人、夏威夷原住民和其他太平洋岛民之间的差异，改善他们的健康状况。这一目标将通过以下具体目标来实现：1)开发一门结合应用生物医学伦理学、文化能力和团队建设的课程，专门用于培养多学科转化研究团队；2)巩固以JABSOM院长办公室为基础的行政结构，以促进PhDCR活动；3)促进研究人员的发展和PhDCR项目学员、导师和讲师之间的合作，确保持续的后续监督，帮助指导新毕业生走上临床研究的有前途的职业生涯。通过实现这些具体目标，我们希望增加夏威夷调查员的人数，他们的知识、培训和经验将使他们能够共同努力，开展符合文化要求的健康差异研究，造福于夏威夷不同族裔的人口。如果成功，我们希望这种创新的跨学科方法能够成为其他学术项目的典范，旨在减少在全国不同环境中进行文化主管研究的障碍。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): We seek to design and implement a clinical research training program leading to a Ph.D. in Clinical Research (PhDCR) to prepare multidisciplinary translational research teams to address health disparities in diverse ethnic communities. The interdisciplinary curriculum will focus on applied biomedical ethics, cultural competence, and team building through classroom teaching, seminars, laboratory training and community-based experiential learning. Diverse faculty from the John A. Burns School of Medicine (JABSOM), the School of Nursing and Dental Hygiene (SONDH), the William S. Richardson School of Law (WSRSL), the Business School, the Departments of Education, Native Hawaiian Studies, Asian Studies, Religious Studies, Philosophy, Sociology and others in the community will be invited to participate in a multidisciplinary approach to identifying and reducing barriers to health disparities research, particularly in the areas of genomics and end-of-life decision-making. In addition, we will build upon collaborative relationships with the University of California at San Francisco and other institutions to enhance the academic excellence of the program. We will encourage medical students, residents, post-doctoral fellows, Ph.D. candidates, and junior and minority faculty to enroll in the program, ensuring a diverse range of students from both basic and clinical science disciplines. By offering interdisciplinary Ph.D. curricula, we seek to increase the cadre of basic and clinical investigators committed to conducting culturally competent research that will reduce disparities and improve health outcomes among Asian, Native Hawaiian and other Pacific Islander populations. This objective will be accomplished through the following specific aims: 1) to develop a curriculum combining applied biomedical ethics, cultural competence and team building specifically for the training of multidisciplinary translational research teams; 2) to solidify an administrative structure based in the JABSOM Dean's office to facilitate PhDCR activities; and, 3) to foster investigator development and collaboration between trainees, mentors, and instructors of the PhDCR program, ensuring continued follow-up surveillance that will help guide new graduates as they embark on promising careers in clinical research. By accomplishing these specific aims, we hope to increase the number of investigators in Hawaii whose knowledge, training and experience will enable them to work together to conduct culturally competent health disparities research for the benefit of Hawaii's diverse ethnic populations. If successful, we expect this innovative interdisciplinary approach to serve as a model for other academic programs designed to reduce barriers to conducting culturally competent research in diverse settings across the country.
