CAM Research Education Partnership Project

描述（由申请人提供）：本申请是响应PAR-08-095，CAM从业人员研究教育项目资助合作伙伴关系竞争性更新（R25）提交的。该项目在西北健康科学大学（西北健康科学大学）进行，该大学是脊椎指压疗法、按摩疗法和针灸/东方医学教育项目的所在地。作为CAM研究的领导者，西北健康科学大学将继续与明尼苏达大学成功合作，设计和提供创新和可持续的教育计划。这个项目的广泛的，长期的目标是促进NCCAM的使命，促进CAM从业人员的证据知情实践（EIP）的应用，并培训CAM研究科学家。为了这个项目的目的，EIP被定义为病人的表现和偏好，临床经验，以及在医疗保健提供研究的整合。迄今为止所取得的进展表明，研究人员有能力成功地领导，管理和评估一个全面的研究教育计划。重要的是，有大量的机构支持，鼓励供资期后的长期可持续性。成果包括新颖的在线学习技术;新的学生所需的EIP课程;多层次的EIP教师发展计划;培训EIP教师和CAM研究人员的创新奖学金;以及一个强大的评估计划，展示了EIP技能和行为的一致和积极的变化。以下具体目标将扩大迄今为止所取得的进展：目标1：进一步建立一个以EIP为重点的教师发展计划，以提高教师使用研究信息和参与研究的能力。目标二：扩大以EIP为重点的学生课程，以加强学生对EIP技能的培训和实际应用，并激发他们对研究的兴趣。目标3：为CAM从业者建立一个以EIP为重点的研究生课程，以促进临床实践中研究的有效利用，并激发CAM研究的参与。目标4：创建创新和相关的EIP资源，传播给CAM学生，教师和从业人员。这个雄心勃勃的研究教育计划是其潜力显著CAM实践，文化和研究，通过CAM和传统教育机构的成功合作。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This application is submitted in response to PAR-08-095, the CAM Practitioner Research Education Project Grant Partnership Competitive Renewal (R25). This project is conducted at Northwestern Health Sciences University (Northwestern Health Sciences University), home to chiropractic, massage therapy, and acupuncture/Oriental medicine educational programs. A leader in CAM research, Northwestern Health Sciences University will continue its successful collaboration with the University of Minnesota to design and deliver an innovative and sustainable educational plan. The broad, long-term objective of this project is to promote NCCAM's mission of facilitating the application of evidence informed practice (EIP) by CAM practitioners, and training CAM research scientists. For the purposes of this project, EIP is defined as the integration of patient presentation and preferences, clinical experience, and research in health care delivery. The progress made to date demonstrates the investigators' ability to successfully lead, administer, and evaluate a comprehensive research education program. Importantly, there has been tremendous institutional support which encourages long-term sustainability beyond the funding period. Outcomes include novel online learning technologies; new required EIP coursework for students; a multi-level EIP faculty development program; an innovative fellowship to train EIP teachers and CAM researchers; and a robust evaluation program demonstrating consistent and positive changes in EIP skills and behaviors. The following specific aims will expand upon the progress made thus far by: Aim 1: Further establishing an EIP-focused faculty development program to enhance faculty's ability to use research information and participate in research. Aim 2: Expanding the EIP-focused student curricula to enhance students' training and practical application of EIP skills and stimulate their interest in research. Aim 3: Building an EIP-focused post-graduate program for CAM practitioners to facilitate the efficient use of research in clinical practice and inspire participation in CAM research. Aim 4: Creating innovative and relevant EIP resources for dissemination to CAM students, faculty, and practitioners. This ambitious research education program is significant in its potential to transform CAM practice, culture, and research, through successful partnering of CAM and conventional educational institutions.
