CAM Research Education Partnership Project

描述（由申请人提供）：本申请是根据PAR-08-095， CAM从业者研究教育项目资助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，设计并实施创新和可持续的教育计划。该项目的长期目标是促进NCCAM的使命，即促进CAM从业者对证据知情实践（EIP）的应用，并培训CAM研究科学家。为了本项目的目的，EIP被定义为整合患者的表现和偏好、临床经验和医疗保健提供方面的研究。迄今为止取得的进展证明了研究人员成功领导、管理和评估综合研究教育计划的能力。重要的是，有巨大的机构支持，鼓励在供资期之后的长期可持续性。成果包括新颖的在线学习技术；为学生开设新的EIP必修课程；多层次EIP教师发展计划；培训EIP教师和CAM研究人员的创新奖学金；以及一个强有力的评估项目，展示在EIP技能和行为方面持续和积极的变化。目标1：进一步建立以知识产权为重点的教师发展计划，提高教师使用研究信息和参与研究的能力。目标2：扩展以知识产权为重点的学生课程，加强学生对知识产权技能的训练和实际应用，激发他们对研究的兴趣。目标3：为辅助医学从业者建立一个以eip为重点的研究生项目，以促进临床实践中研究的有效利用，并鼓励参与辅助医学研究。目标4：创建创新和相关的EIP资源，以传播给CAM的学生、教师和从业者。这一雄心勃勃的研究型教育项目通过与传统教育机构的成功合作，在改变CAM实践、文化和研究方面具有重要意义。

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.
