DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Project Summary / Abstract Although clinical palliative care fellowship programs have been growing in number and quality, there is a paucity of research training opportunities in palliative care1 with reports from the Institute of Medicine and National Institutes of Health highlighting the need for basic, translational, clinical, and heath services research in palliative care. 2 3 4 5,6 One of the most important ways to advance care for older adults with advanced illness is to develop junior investigators. Such training is necessary to build the academic infrastructure required for continued evidence-based growth of the field. Recognizing this need, a 2012 joint statement from the American Geriatrics Society (AGS) and American Academy of Hospice and Palliative Medicine (AAHPM) recommended increased collaboration between palliative and geriatric medicine in workforce, education, research, and policy. 7 Given existing expertise, a critical mass of experienced investigators, and longstanding close collaborations between palliative care and geriatrics, the University of Colorado is uniquely qualified to address this urgent need through a T32 palliative care research training grant. The goal of this T32 is to prepare postdoctoral fellows for careers as palliative care researchers. This is accomplished by recruiting exceptional and committed applicants and exposing them to an environment which features dedicated, experienced, and outstanding Program Faculty who will serve as senior mentors and affiliated faculty who will serve as junior/co-mentors. These faculty represent key disciplines and resources essential for palliative care research: the Schools of Medicine, Pharmacy and Public Health, the College of Nursing, the Colorado Health Outcomes Program, the Center for Bioethics and Humanities, the Department of Psychology, the Kaiser Institute for Health Research, National Jewish Health, and the resources of the Colorado Clinical and Translational Sciences Institute (CCTSI), the University of Colorado CTSA. From the School of Medicine, key connections and collaborations are between the Divisions of General Internal Medicine, Geriatric Medicine and Health Care Policy and Research. The specific objectives of this training program are to: 1) recruit and retain outstanding post-doctoral trainees; 2) support their research training through experiential and didactic instruction; 3) ensure the highest level of academic success through conscientious monitoring of a thoughtfully constructed personalized research career development plan; and 4) enhance the mentoring skills of junior mentors through co-mentoring with more experienced senior mentors, expanding the cohort of senior mentors in palliative care research. These objectives will be carried out by offering: 1) 2 years of research training support for 4-post-doctoral trainees per year; 2) expert mentoring by experienced senior mentors (Program Faculty) with co-mentoring by less experienced investigators (Affiliated Faculty) ; 3) relevant formal coursework tailored to the needs and prior training of individual fellows; 4) regularly scheduled research and career development seminars; 5) integration of trainees into the existing Program in Palliative Care Research activities and resources; 6) frequent and careful review of trainee progress/success, incorporating feedback to and from trainees; 7) ongoing appraisal of the program goals, strength and weaknesses; and 8) sound financial and administrative oversight. Our success will be evidenced by our ability to: 1) fill our positions wih outstanding trainees and foster an ongoing pipeline of trainee candidates; 2) produce academically successful and productive trainees; 3) expand the cohort of palliative care research mentors by engaging more junior faculty as co-mentors with a goal of transitioning them to Program Faculty / senior mentors as they gain experience/expertise; and 4) expand palliative care research capacity through deliberate and strategic interactions amongst programs and faculty, bringing new skills and expertise to and engaging new senior mentors in palliative care research. Of the 52 institutional training grants at the University of Colorado, ths is the only one specifically dedicated to palliative care research. Nationally, only 2 institutiona research training awards (T32) focus on palliative care, and both are limited to cancer (NIH RePORT, accessed 5/19/13).

描述（由申请人提供）：项目摘要 /摘要，尽管临床姑息治疗奖学金计划的数量和质量一直在增长，但姑息治疗中的研究培训机会很少，医学研究所和国立卫生研究院的报告强调了基本，翻译，临床，临床和Heath Service palliatiative Care中的需求。 2 3 4 5,6为患有晚期疾病的老年人提供护理的最重要方法之一是培养初级研究人员。这种培训对于建立该领域持续基于证据的增长所需的学术基础设施是必要的。 2012年，美国老年医学学会（AGS）和美国临终关怀医学学院（AAHPM）的联合声明建议，建议在劳动力，教育，研究和政策中加强合作。 7鉴于现有的专业知识，大量经验丰富的研究人员以及姑息治疗与老年医学之间的长期密切合作，科罗拉多大学有资格通过T32姑息治疗研究培训补助金来满足这一迫切需求。该T32的目的是为姑息治疗研究人员准备职业博士后研究员。这是通过招募杰出和忠诚的申请人并将其暴露于特色的环境中来实现的，该环境具有专门的，经验丰富且杰出的课程教师，他们将担任高级导师和会员教师，并将担任初级/院长。这些教师代表了姑息治疗研究至关重要的关键学科和资源：医学，药房和公共卫生学院，护理学院，科罗拉多州健康成果计划，生物伦理学和人文学科中心，心理学中心，Kaiser健康研究所，Kaiser健康研究所，国家犹太人健康研究所，国家犹太人健康以及科罗拉多州的资源以及Colorado Clinticalitional和Transliational Clanticalitional和Translistational Instruction（COCTSITAICIAD INTICE）（CCTSICA）。从医学院来看，主要的联系和合作是在通用内科，老年医学和医疗保健政策与研究的分区之间。该培训计划的具体目标是：1）招募和保留 杰出的博士后学员； 2）通过体验和教学教学支持他们的研究培训； 3）通过认真对待周到的个性化研究职业发展计划来确保最高水平的学术成功； 4）通过与经验丰富的高级导师共同授课，扩大了姑息治疗研究中的高级导师的同伙来提高初级导师的指导能力。这些目标将通过提供：1）每年为4批位的学员提供2年的研究培训支持； 2）经验丰富的高级导师（课程教师）的专家指导，并由经验不足的研究人员（附属学院）共同指导； 3）针对单个研究员的需求和事先培训量身定制的相关正式课程； 4）定期安排的研究和职业发展研讨会； 5）在姑息治疗研究活动和资源中将受训者整合到现有计划中； 6）经常仔细审查受训者的进度/成功，并结合了对学员的反馈； 7）对计划目标，优势和劣势进行持续评估； 8）合理的财务和行政监督。我们的成功将证明我们的成功能力：1）填补杰出的学员的职位，并培养正在进行的学员候选人的渠道； 2）生产学术成功和富有成效的学员； 3）通过吸引更多的初级教师作为联合主管，以使他们在获得经验 /专业知识的情况下向教师 /高级导师进行编程； 4）通过计划和教师之间的故意和战略互动来扩大姑息治疗研究能力，从而为姑息治疗研究带来新的技能和专业知识并吸引新的高级导师。在科罗拉多大学的52个机构培训补助金中，THS是唯一专门致力于姑息治疗研究的培训。在全国范围内，只有2个机构研究培训奖（T32）专注于姑息治疗，两者都限于癌症（NIH报告，访问了5/19/13）。
