Academic Career Award

描述（由申请人提供）：本K07申请寻求5年的支持，支持有兴趣的候选人：(1)长期维持弗吉尼亚大学补充和替代疗法研究中心及其补充和替代医学临床研究培训计划（CAM CRTP）；(2)在资助CAM CRTP失效后，保持UVA跨学科CAM兴趣的势头；(3)平衡独立学院/院系和大学其他部门对CAM研究感兴趣的需求和利益。因此，候选人的5年领导目标是通过培养清晰的愿景和个人领导能力来获得额外的领导技能，以解决这三个领域的问题，从而激励其他人在CAM研究领域取得非凡的表现。在花园工商管理研究生院教师的指导下，候选人将参与领导力培训，该培训使用强大的领导力模型，重点关注个人特征，战略思维技能，影响他人的能力，创造鼓舞人心的组织设计以及领导变革的原则。她还将参观在联邦政府为这些中心的基础设施提供资金后仍然堪称典范的CAM中心。候选人的第二个重点是维持一个与cam相关的研究项目，研究身心干预、基于身体的实践、电磁和其他能量模式。具体来说，在第一年，她将继续为已经进行的研究做出贡献，以完成这些研究。此外，在1-5年级，候选人将继续指导博士生预科生进行cam相关的论文，并指导博士后计划k奖或竞争性探索性研究。这个K07申请的领导力培训部分的相关性在于，它通过提供职业发展机会、增加知识、经验和不同从业者群体的能力来进行严格的CAM研究，解决了候选人发展CAM研究骨干（NCCAM目标）的承诺。这项研究与公共卫生的相关性在于，许多患者使用辅助医学实践和产品，希望减少不良症状和提高生活质量，因此这项研究符合确定的需要，即开发更多关于辅助医学模式对不同人群影响的知识基础。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This K07 application seeks 5 years of support for a candidate interested in: (1) sustaining long-term the Center for the Study of Complementary and Alternative Therapies and its Complementary and Alternative Medicine Clinical Research Training Program (CAM CRTP) at the University of Virginia; (2) sustaining the momentum of interdisciplinary CAM interests at UVA after funding for the CAM CRTP has lapsed; and (3) balancing the needs and interests of independent schools/departments and other components of the University interested in CAM research. Thus, the candidate's 5-year leadership goal is to acquire additional leadership skills to address these three areas through nurturing clarity of her vision and personal leadership to inspire others to extraordinary performance in the field of CAM research. Under the mentorship of faculty members in the Garden Graduate School of Business Administration, the candidate will engage in leadership training that uses a powerful leadership model with a focus on personal characteristics, strategic thinking skills, abilities in influencing others, creating inspiring organizational designs, and principles of leading change. She will also visit CAM centers that remain exemplary post federal funding for the centers' infrastructure. The candidate's second focus is directed toward sustaining a program of CAM-related research that investigates mind-body interventions, body-based practices, and electromagnetic and other energy modalities. Specifically, in Year 1 she will continue to contribute to studies already in progress to bring closure to these studies. . Also, in Years 1-5, the candidate will continue to mentor predoctoral trainees in conducting CAM-related dissertations and postdoctoral fellows in planning either K-awards or competitive exploratory studies. The relevance of the leadership training component of this K07 application is that it addresses the candidate's commitment to develop a cadre of CAM investigators (a NCCAM goal) through providing career development opportunities and increasing the knowledge, experience, and capacity of a diverse group of practitioners to conduct rigorous CAM research. Relevance of the research to public health is that many patients use CAM practices and products in hopes of reducing adverse symptoms and improving quality of life, making this research consistent with the identified need to develop a greater knowledge base on the effects of CAM modalities in various populations.
