DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Infections remain a major cause of morbidity and mortality, despite decades of advances in diagnosis, therapeutics and delivery of health care. Many of the traditional treatments for common infections are no longer effective because of the emergence of new pathogens (e.g. SARS, norovirus) and the fast-growing problem of antimicrobial resistance. The origins of the widespread problems of infection stem from issues in such diverse areas as microbial genetics, health care policy, economics, and human behavior. From 2007-12, NINR funded a T90, "Training in Interdisciplinary Research to Reduce Antimicrobial Resistance", TIRAR, a highly successful program described in Section 1.c. In July 2012 NINR funded the T32 pre- and post-doctoral training program, "Training in Interdisciplinary Research to Prevent Infections" (TIRI, http://sklad.cumc.columbia.edu/nursing/research/ciriTrGr12_17.php), to equip a cadre of pre-doctoral and post- doctoral scholars with the interdisciplinary tools and training critical to address the broad issue of the prevention of infections, and to develop the interdisciplinary understanding among faculty and colleagues across disciplines that is vital to fulfill this trainin mission. In 2010 the director of TIRI (Larson) served on the American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN) task force, "The Research-Focused Doctoral Program in Nursing", which recommended identifying innovative pathways to 'speed up' the pipeline to meet the need for more nurse researchers. In the same year, The Institute of Medicine published a landmark report on the future of nursing, also recommending that nursing education allow for more rapid and seamless transition into higher degree programs and more exposure to interdisciplinary training. To provide an option for individuals entering the profession of nursing with a clear goal of becoming a researcher, the Columbia University School of Nursing (CUSON) has a formal BSN-PhD program and we are therefore well positioned to respond to RFA- NR-13-010, Scholars Training for the Advancement of Research (STAR). The overall goal of this revision is to strengthen the pipeline of researchers dedicated to using interdisciplinary approaches to solving complex clinical and basic research problems related to the prevention and control of infections. The specific aim of this application is to provide "fast track" training for two additinal students in TIRI's integrated interdisciplinary Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) to PhD program. TIRI would provide ideal training for BSN-PhD students because the program plan already includes an interdisciplinary field practicum and a didactic course on building interdisciplinary research models as well as content specific to the prevention of infections. In addition to the current aims of TIRI, we propose to expand our traineeships and recruitment efforts to provide a program to deliver the highest quality doctoral-level education in an expedited time period for well qualified candidates.

描述（由申请人提供）：尽管几十年来在诊断、治疗和提供保健方面取得了进展，但感染仍然是发病和死亡的主要原因。由于出现了新的病原体（如严重急性呼吸系统综合症、诺如病毒）以及抗菌素耐药性问题日益严重，许多针对常见感染的传统治疗方法已不再有效。广泛的感染问题的起源源于微生物遗传学、卫生保健政策、经济学和人类行为等不同领域的问题。从2007年至2012年，NINR资助了T90“跨学科研究培训以减少抗菌素耐药性”，TIRAR，这是一个非常成功的项目，见第1.c部分。2012年7月，国家卫生研究院资助了T32前和博士后培训计划，“跨学科研究预防感染培训”（TIRI, http://sklad.cumc.columbia.edu/nursing/research/ciriTrGr12_17.php），为一批博士生和博士后学者提供跨学科工具和培训，以解决预防感染的广泛问题。并在教师和同事之间发展跨学科的理解，这对完成这一培训任务至关重要。2010年，TIRI （Larson）主任在美国护理学院协会（AACN）的“以研究为重点的护理博士课程”工作组中任职，该工作组建议确定创新途径来“加快”管道，以满足对更多护理研究人员的需求。同年，医学研究所发表了一份关于护理未来的里程碑式报告，也建议护理教育可以更快、更无缝地过渡到更高的学位课程，并更多地接触跨学科培训。为进入护理专业的个人提供一个明确目标的选择
