DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Musculoskeletal and orthopaedic disorders are exceptionally prevalent, disabling and costly. However research on these conditions is hampered by the lack of a robust pipeline of rigorously trained clinical and translational researchers. Just 6% of NIAMS funded T32 programs have a focus in orthopaedic and musculoskeletal clinical and translational research. The objectives of this proposed T32 training grant are to provide pre- and postdoctoral candidates with a rigorous program of training in clinical, translational, epidemiological and policy research involving musculoskeletal and orthopaedic disorders, including their prevention, recognition, burden and impact, and operative and nonoperative treatment. The research areas span the musculoskeletal disorders, including osteoarthritis, osteoporosis, orthopaedic interventions, regional disorders (e.g. spine, knee, shoulder, upper extremity, foot/ankle), nerve entrapments, chronic musculoskeletal pain and related conditions. The program will support training in a range of disciplines including epidemiology, biostatistics, pharmacoepidemiology, claims analysis, decision sciences, economic analysis, examination of disparities, and psychosocial and behavioral interventions. This application requests funding for two predoctoral and three postdoctoral training positions. The trainees would spend at least two years in the program. Those without prior formal didactic training will obtain master's level education in the Clinical Effectiveness Program at Harvard School of Public Health. The Program provides close supervision and opportunities to work across disciplines with a faculty of outstanding investigators and mentors from several Harvard medical institutions. The faculty members are well funded with federal, foundation and other support. Each faculty member has a record of successful mentoring and each leads vibrant research teams engaged in a wide range of substantive areas and methodological disciplines. The institutions provide considerable support in the form of patient sources, vast electronic and hard copy libaries, sophisticated information systems and database resources. Lay summary: This application seeks funds to train young people to become leading scientists studying musculoskeletal and orthopaedic problems. These disorders are very common, disabling, expensive and understudied.

描述（由申请人提供）：肌肉骨骼和骨科疾病异常普遍、致残且费用高昂。然而，由于缺乏经过严格培训的临床和转化研究人员的强大渠道，对这些疾病的研究受到阻碍。在 NIAMS 资助的 T32 项目中，只有 6% 的重点是骨科和肌肉骨骼临床及转化研究。拟议的 T32 培训补助金的目标是为博士前和博士后候选人提供严格的培训计划，涉及肌肉骨骼和骨科疾病的临床、转化、流行病学和政策研究，包括其预防、识别、负担和影响，以及手术和非手术治疗。研究领域涵盖肌肉骨骼疾病，包括骨关节炎、骨质疏松症、骨科干预、局部疾病（例如脊柱、膝盖、肩部、上肢、足/踝）、神经卡压、慢性肌肉骨骼疼痛及相关病症。该计划将支持一系列学科的培训，包括流行病学、生物统计学、药物流行病学、索赔分析、决策科学、经济分析、差异检查以及心理社会和行为干预。该申请要求为两个博士前培训职位和三个博士后培训职位提供资金。学员将在该计划中度过至少两年的时间。那些没有事先接受过正式教学培训的人将在哈佛大学公共卫生学院的临床有效性项目中获得硕士学位教育。该计划提供密切的监督和与来自多个哈佛医疗机构的杰出研究人员和导师进行跨学科合作的机会。教职员工得到联邦、基金会和其他支持的充足资助。每位教职员工都有成功指导的记录，并且领导着活跃的研究团队，从事广泛的实质性领域和方法学科。这些机构以患者来源、庞大的电子和硬拷贝图书馆、复杂的信息系统和数据库资源的形式提供大量支持。简单摘要：该申请寻求资金来培训年轻人成为研究肌肉骨骼和骨科问题的领先科学家。这些疾病非常常见、致残、昂贵且研究不足。
