DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The high prevalence-of-use and lack of appropriate evidence regarding complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) has resulted in a compelling need for more and better research into mechanisms and outcomes related to CAM therapies. In order to grow CAM research capacity, a new generation of CAM researchers will need to be trained in the rigorous scientific methods needed to investigate the many CAM modalities, domains, and potential causal pathways. This application proposes a CAM research training program at the University of Wisconsin-Madison (UW), to be funded by a Ruth L. Kirschstein T32 National Research Service Award from the National Center for Complementary and Alternative (NCCAM) at NIH. The purpose of this traineeship is to provide research training to individuals aiming for careers in health science research related to CAM. The training program will be collaborative, multidisciplinary, and individualized to each trainee's specific needs. Each trainee will be matched with primary and secondary mentors. The traineeship will be administered by the UW Department of Family Medicine, but will involve faculty and mentors from across the UW Schools of Medicine and Public Health, Nursing, and Pharmacy, and in UW Departments such as Psychology and Anthropology. The leaders of this proposed training program have strong CAM research backgrounds, including several projects funded by NCCAM, and successful histories of training and mentoring new and early stage researchers. The proposed traineeship will support both doctoral candidates and post-doctoral trainees, including residency-trained physicians. Individualized coursework, mentoring, grant-writing, research methodology, project management, statistical analysis, and writing for publication will form the foundation of this training program. Weekly seminars will be the core activity that brings the UW CAM trainees together to form a CAM research learning community. Twice yearly research retreats will give trainees an opportunity to showcase their projects and to develop their public speaking skills. An active feedback and evaluation process will allow monitoring and refinement of research training methods, and will track trainees beyond their training into their CAM research careers. In summary, the proposed research training program will provide a mentored research training experience to facilitate the transformation of new and early stage CAM researchers into independent productive health scientists. This will help to address current and future national needs for CAM researchers who can fill leadership roles in this growing area of health research.

描述(由申请人提供)：补充和替代医学(CAM)的高使用率和缺乏适当的证据已导致迫切需要对与CAM疗法相关的机制和结果进行更多和更好的研究。为了提高CAM的研究能力，新一代CAM研究人员将需要接受严格的科学方法培训，以研究许多CAM形态、领域和潜在的因果路径。本申请提出了威斯康星大学麦迪逊分校(UW)的CAM研究培训计划，该计划将由NIH国家补充和替代中心(NCCAM)颁发的Ruth L.Kirschstein T32国家研究服务奖资助。本次培训的目的是为个人提供研究培训，目标是从事与CAM相关的健康科学研究。培训计划将是协作性的、多学科的，并根据每个受训者的特定需求进行个性化。每名学员将与初级和次级导师配对。培训将由威斯康星州大学家庭医学系管理，但将有来自威斯康星州医学院和公共卫生、护理和药剂学以及威斯康星州大学心理学和人类学等系的教师和导师参加。这一拟议培训计划的负责人具有强大的CAM研究背景，包括由NCCAM资助的几个项目，以及培训和指导新的和早期研究人员的成功历史。拟议的实习生职位将支持博士后候选人和博士后实习生，包括经过住院医师培训的医生。个性化的课程作业、指导、拨款申请、研究方法、项目管理、统计分析和出版写作将构成本培训计划的基础。每周研讨会将是将威斯康星州大学CAM学员聚集在一起组成CAM研究性学习社区的核心活动。每年两次的研究务虚会将为学员提供展示他们的项目和发展他们的公共演讲技能的机会。积极的反馈和评估过程将允许监测和改进研究培训方法，并将跟踪受训人员进入他们的CAM研究职业生涯。总之，拟议的研究培训计划将提供有指导的研究培训经验，以促进新的和早期的CAM研究人员转变为独立的生产性健康科学家。这将有助于满足当前和未来国家对CAM研究人员的需求，这些研究人员可以在这一日益增长的卫生研究领域发挥领导作用。
