Training in Interdisciplinary Research to Prevent Infections (TIRI)

描述(申请人提供)：感染仍然是发病率和死亡率的主要原因，尽管几十年来在诊断、治疗和提供卫生保健方面取得了进展。由于新病原体(如SARS、诺沃克病毒)的出现和快速增长的抗菌素耐药性问题，许多常见感染的传统治疗方法已不再有效。广泛存在的感染问题的根源源于微生物遗传学、卫生保健政策、经济和人类行为等不同领域的问题。从2007年到2012年，NINR资助了一个T90项目，“减少抗菌素耐药性的跨学科研究培训”，TIRAR，一个非常成功的项目，见第1.c节。2012年7月，NINR资助了T32博士后和博士后培训计划“预防感染的跨学科研究培训”(TIRI，http://sklad.cumc.columbia.edu/nursing/research/ciriTrGr12_17.php)，)，为博士后和博士后学者队伍配备跨学科工具和培训，以解决预防感染的广泛问题，并发展教师和同事之间跨学科的跨学科理解，这对完成这一培训使命至关重要。2010年，Tiri(Larson)的主任在美国护理学院协会(AACN)的特别工作组“护理研究博士课程”中任职，该工作组建议寻找创新的途径来“加速”管道，以满足对更多护士研究人员的需求。同年，医学研究所发布了一份关于护理未来的里程碑式的报告，还建议护理教育允许更快、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。为有明确目标的个人进入护理行业提供选择 作为一名研究人员，哥伦比亚大学护理学院(CUSON)有一个正式的BSN-博士课程，因此我们处于有利地位，以响应RFA-NR-13-010，学者培训促进研究(STAR)。这一修订的总体目标是加强致力于使用跨学科方法解决与预防和控制感染有关的复杂临床和基础研究问题的研究人员的渠道。这项申请的具体目的是为Tiri综合跨学科护理学学士到博士项目的两名额外学生提供“快车道”培训。TIRI将为BSN-博士生提供理想的培训，因为该项目计划已经包括一个跨学科的实地实践和一个关于建立跨学科研究模型的教学课程，以及特定于预防感染的内容。除了Tiri目前的目标外，我们还建议扩大我们的实习生名额和招聘努力，以提供一个计划，在更短的时间内为合格的候选人提供最高质量的博士水平教育。

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.
