DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The investigators propose the Rehabilitation Research Career Development Program (RRCD), a renewal of the current grant K12 HD055929, to train rehabilitation scientists who are occupational and physical therapists. The goal of the RRCD Program is to increase the number of rigorously trained, extramurally competitive, and scientifically competent rehabilitation scientists who will conduct translational investigations, lead clinical research teams, and eventually mentor the next generation of occupational and physical therapy investigators. The University of Texas Medical Branch (UTMB), the University of Florida (UF) and the University of Southern California (USC) will function as a research consortium to achieve this goal. The consortium includes a cadre of senior rehabilitation investigators (Lead Mentors) who provide the K12 Scholars with the skills and knowledge necessary to become independent investigators and future leaders in rehabilitation science. The training program is comprised of two phases. Phase 1 (Years 1-3) is designed to provide the Scholars with the foundation needed for a productive career in interdisciplinary rehabilitation research. Scholars will conduct research at one of the consortium institutions under the supervision of a Lead Mentor and collaborate with members of an interdisciplinary research team in their area of research interest. Each Scholar will prepare an Individualized Career Development Plan based on their past training and recommendations from the Lead Mentor and research team. The plan will consist of structured didactic training involving research methodology, specialized courses and seminars, and mentored grant writing experiences. In Phase 1, Scholars will acquire research experience, generate, analyze, present and publish research data, and become equipped to compete for independent external funding (e.g., K01, R03, R21, or R01 grants). In Phase 2 (Years 4-5), Scholars will transition to independent researcher positions. Phase 2 Scholars will continue to devote 50-75% effort to research and remain associated with the Lead Mentor and members of the research team, but will no longer be supported from the K12 award. The mentor-based training model takes advantage of the excellent resources at the consortium institutions (e.g., active T32 training programs, NIH and NIDRR funded research centers, Clinical and Translational Science Awards). Eighty-eight percent of our Scholars who have transitioned to Phase 2 since 2007 have obtained individual external funding from the NIH or VA. This rate of funding success is substantially higher than has been reported for other mentored K-award programs. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: The demand for clinical scientists in occupational and physical therapy trained to conduct translational and comparative effectiveness research has increased significantly over the past ten years. The goal of the RRCD Program is to increase the number of rigorously trained and scientifically competent investigators who will advance rehabilitation science and contribute to the knowledge need to support evidence-based rehabilitation practice. Candidates will be recruited nationally and trained at the University of Florida-Gainesville, the University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston, or the University of Southern California.

描述（由申请人提供）：研究人员提出康复研究职业发展计划（RRCD），这是当前拨款 K12 HD055929 的更新，以培训作为职业和物理治疗师的康复科学家。 RRCD 计划的目标是增加经过严格培训、具有校外竞争力和科学能力的康复科学家的数量，他们将进行转化研究、领导临床研究团队，并最终指导下一代职业和物理治疗研究人员。 德克萨斯大学医学分部 (UTMB)、佛罗里达大学 (UF) 和南加州大学 (USC) 将作为一个研究联盟来实现这一目标。该联盟包括一批高级康复研究人员（首席导师），他们为 K12 学者提供成为康复科学领域的独立研究人员和未来领导者所需的技能和知识。培训计划分为两个阶段。第一阶段（1-3年）旨在为学者们提供跨学科康复研究富有成效的职业生涯所需的基础。学者将在首席导师的监督下在联盟机构之一进行研究，并与跨学科研究团队的成员在其研究兴趣领域进行合作。每位学者将根据他们过去的培训以及首席导师和研究团队的建议，制定个性化的职业发展计划。该计划将包括结构化的教学培训，涉及研究方法、专业课程和研讨会，以及指导资助写作经验。在第一阶段，学者将获得研究经验，生成、分析、呈现和发布研究数据，并有能力竞争独立的外部资金（例如 K01、R03、R21 或 R01 资助）。在第二阶段（第 4-5 年），学者将过渡到独立研究员职位。第二阶段的学者将继续投入 50-75% 的精力进行研究，并与首席导师和研究团队成员保持联系，但将不​​再获得 K12 奖项的支持。基于导师的培训模式利用了联盟机构的优质资源（例如活跃的 T32 培训项目、NIH 和 NIDRR 资助的研究中心、临床和转化科学奖）。自 2007 年起过渡到第二阶段的学者中有 88% 获得了 NIH 或 VA 的个人外部资助。这一资助成功率远高于其他 K 奖指导项目的报告。 公共健康相关性：过去十年，对接受过职业和物理治疗临床科学家培训以进行转化和比较有效性研究的需求显着增加。 RRCD 计划的目标是增加经过严格培训且具有科学能力的研究人员的数量，他们将推动康复科学并为支持循证康复实践所需的知识做出贡献。候选人将在全国范围内招募，并在佛罗里达大学盖恩斯维尔分校、德克萨斯大学加尔维斯顿医学分校或南加州大学接受培训。
