项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The purpose of this K01 Mentored Research Scientist Development Award is to promote the candidate's development as an independent researcher in complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) with a focus on chronic disease management among underserved populations. Dr. Chao's long-term career goal is to bridge public health and CAM to improve quality of life among underserved populations living with chronic conditions, such as diabetes. Towards this end, the proposed mentored research for this K01 award is to design, implement, and evaluate an acupuncture group-based intervention to improve quality of life among underserved patients with painful diabetic neuropathy. To support this research and Dr. Chao's goal of independent CAM research, this K01 application includes formal, mentored training through coursework and tailored tutorials in clinical research methodologies, practice-based acupuncture research, diabetes management and quality of life among underserved populations, and responsible conduct of research. This training will be applied to research with two Specific Aims: (1) to develop a standardized acupuncture protocol for painful diabetic neuropathy through formal treatment manualization; and (2) to evaluate acceptability, feasibility, and preliminary efficacy of group acupuncture for painful diabetic neuropathy among underserved patients. The University of California, San Francisco is an ideal environment for the proposed training because it provides access to experts in both CAM and diabetes management among underserved populations and close affiliation with San Francisco General Hospital, an urban safety net hospital serving a low-income, ethnically diverse population. Completion of the proposed research and career development activities will inform the development of an R01 application and ensure Dr. Chao's ability to conduct independent research on CAM therapies to improve quality of life among underserved populations.

描述（由申请人提供）：这一K01指导研究科学家发展奖的目的是促进候选人作为互补和替代医学（CAM）独立研究人员的发展，重点是服务不足的人群中的慢性疾病管理。 Chao博士的长期职业目标是桥接公共卫生和CAM，以改善患有糖尿病等慢性状况的人口不足的人群的生活质量。为此，拟议的这一K01奖的指导研究是设计，实施和评估基于针灸的基于小组的干预措施，以改善疼痛糖尿病神经病的服务不足患者的生活质量。为了支持这项研究和Chao博士的独立CAM研究的目标，该K01应用程序包括通过课程进行正式的，指导的培训以及临床研究方法中的量身定制教程，基于实践的针灸研究，糖尿病管理和不足人群中的生活质量以及负责任的研究。该培训将应用于具有两个具体目的的研究：（1）通过正式治疗手册制定标准化针灸方案，用于疼痛的糖尿病神经病；（2）评估组针灸对不足患者的疼痛糖尿病神经病的可接受性，可行性和初步疗效。加州大学旧金山分校是拟议培训的理想环境，因为它为服务不足的人群提供了CAM和糖尿病管理专家的访问权，并与旧金山综合医院的密切联系，这是一家城市安全网络医院，为低收入，种族多元化的人群提供服务。拟议的研究和职业发展活动的完成将为R01应用程序的开发提供信息，并确保Chao博士对CAM疗法进行独立研究以改善服务不足人群的生活质量。
