DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The overall goal of the Dual Degree Scholars in Clinical Oral Health Research Training (DDS-COHRT) Program is to provide clinical research training in multidisciplinary, team research settings to train dentists as clinical investigators in order to improve oral and craniofacial health through applied research. Our primary aim is to 1) prepare dentists to become independent investigators in clinical research. The secondary aim is to 2) train dentists to contribute to clinical research as part of a multi-disciplinary research team. Training via the Masters in Clinical Research (MSCR) or the Masters in Public Health (MPH) will include: 1) a core didactic curriculum for the methodologic and analytic concepts central to clinical research, 2) research experiences that include participation in an ongoing clinical research project and development of an individual clinical research project, and 3) training in career development-related skills. Trainees will be able to take advantage of: 1) the availability of outstanding mentors in clinical and public health research; 2) a well-established institutional research infrastructure, including: the GCRC and its Genomics, Statistics, and Bioinformatics Cores, the Center for Clinical Trials, the Greenebaum Cancer Center, and the curriculum in Clinical Research and associated MSCR supported by an NIH K30 award; 3) the MPH programs offered by the University of Maryland at Baltimore and at College Park, and 4) geographic proximity to research training partners at the University of Maryland campuses, the NIH, and Johns Hopkins University, making additional mentors and courses available. The DDS-COHRT Program will include 3 components: 1) formal study in clinical research methods with didactic coursework, seminars, and workshops, 2) a team-mentored research practicum and research project, and 3) a unique senior year of dental school to facilitate re-entry into the clinical curriculum and prepare students for an academic career. Program participants will engage in 5 years of training, graduating with the combined DDS-MSCR or DDS-MPH degrees. The primary research training period will occur between the junior and senior years of dental school, although short-term training periods will be provided from the freshman through the senior years of dental school. The extant resources and mentors will permit trainees to undertake projects in all types of clinical research: patient-oriented research, translational research, small- and large-scale clinical studies and trials, and epidemiologic studies.

描述（由申请人提供）：临床口腔健康研究培训（DDS-COHRT）计划的双学位学者的总体目标是在多学科，团队研究环境中提供临床研究培训，以培训牙医作为临床研究人员，通过应用研究改善口腔和颅面健康。我们的主要目标是1）准备牙医成为临床研究的独立研究者。第二个目的是2）培训牙医作为多学科研究团队的一部分为临床研究做出贡献。通过临床研究硕士（MSCR）或公共卫生硕士（MPH）的培训将包括：1）对临床研究至关重要的方法和分析概念的核心教学课程，2）包括参与正在进行的临床研究项目和个人临床研究项目开发的研究经验，以及3）职业发展相关技能的培训。学员将能够利用：1）在临床和公共卫生研究的优秀导师的可用性; 2）完善的机构研究基础设施，包括：GCRC及其基因组学，统计学和生物信息学核心，临床试验中心，Greenebaum癌症中心，以及由NIH K30奖支持的临床研究和相关MSCR课程; 3）巴尔的摩的马里兰州大学和学院公园分校提供的MPH课程，以及4）地理位置靠近马里兰州大学校园、NIH和约翰·霍普金斯大学的研究培训合作伙伴，提供额外的导师和课程。DDS-COHRT计划将包括3个组成部分：1）临床研究方法的正式研究，包括教学课程，研讨会和研讨会，2）团队指导的研究实习和研究项目，以及3）牙科学校独特的高年级，以促进重新进入临床课程，并为学生的学术生涯做好准备。计划参与者将参加5年的培训，毕业时获得DDS-MSCR或DDS-MPH学位。初级研究培训期将发生在牙科学校的初级和高级年之间，尽管短期培训期将从牙科学校的大一到大四提供。现有的资源和导师将允许学员承担所有类型的临床研究项目：以患者为导向的研究，转化研究，小型和大型临床研究和试验，以及流行病学研究。
