DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Integrative medicine approaches, including meditation, yoga, tai chi, massage, and other practices are widely used by Americans in the hope of obtaining health benefits. Evidence for the health effects of these practices, however, has important limitations. The goal of the fellowship, "Training for Research in Integrative Medicine" (TRIM), is to train post-doctoral behavioral and social scientists, physicians, and other qualified health professionals to design and conduct rigorous clinical and translational research in CAM and integrative medicine. The program is based at the Osher Center for Integrative Medicine (OCIM) within the UCSF School of Medicine. In the present renewal, we detail the rationale for the program and our progress to date, and we propose a program incorporating improvements based on our experience in the first five years. A key change we propose is to expand the training program to include two predoctoral positions in addition to the current four post-doctoral positions. The TRIM program provides: an interdisciplinary clinical and research environment; strong mentoring by an experienced and diverse research faculty; advanced training in biological and psychological research methodologies to support clinical research in integrative medicine; rigorous training in clinical research methodologies, with special attention to issues that are particularly relevant to integrative medicine research; opportunity to conduct original research; training in research ethics; and exposure to diverse integrative approaches to patient care involving all age groups from early childhood through geriatric patients. The TRIM interdisciplinary faculty has twelve core and eight affiliated members representing internal medicine, family medicine, psychology, anthropology, biostatistics, psychoneuroendocrinology, women's health, pediatrics, health services research, medical ethics, and psychiatry. In addition, a major strength of the training program is the clinical advisory faculty who are available to provide technical assistance and consultation on specific integrative medicine approaches that trainees might want to study. TRIM faculty provide required and optional academic activities that are tailored to each trainee's individual learning objectives and are committed to being active mentors to trainees. The TRIM program will equip a new generation of researchers to expand our knowledge-base about how and whether integrative medicine approaches work for specific health conditions.

描述(申请人提供)：综合医学方法，包括冥想，瑜伽，太极，按摩和其他做法，被美国人广泛使用，希望获得健康益处。然而，这些做法对健康影响的证据有重要的局限性。该奖学金名为“整合医学研究培训”(TRIM)，旨在培养博士后行为和社会科学家、医生和其他合格的健康专业人员，以设计和开展在CAM和整合医学方面的严谨临床和转化性研究。该项目设在加州大学旧金山分校医学院内的Osher整合医学中心(OCIM)。在这次更新中，我们详细介绍了该计划的基本原理和我们迄今的进展，并根据我们在头五年的经验提出了一个结合了改进的计划。我们建议的一个关键变化是扩大培训计划，除了目前的四个博士后职位外，还包括两个博士后职位。TRIM计划提供：跨学科的临床和研究环境；由经验丰富和多样化的研究人员提供强有力的指导；生物和心理研究方法方面的高级培训，以支持综合医学的临床研究；临床研究方法方面的严格培训，特别关注与综合医学研究特别相关的问题；进行原创研究的机会；研究伦理培训；以及接触到从幼儿到老年患者的各种综合患者护理方法。TRIM跨学科学院有12名核心成员和8名附属成员，分别代表内科、家庭医学、心理学、人类学、生物统计学、心理神经内分泌学、妇女健康、儿科学、卫生服务研究、医学伦理学和精神病学。此外，培训计划的一个主要优势是临床咨询教师，他们可以就受训人员可能想要学习的特定综合医学方法提供技术援助和咨询。TRIM教师提供必要和可选的学术活动，这些活动根据每个学员的个人学习目标而量身定做，并致力于成为学员的积极导师。TRIM计划将装备新一代研究人员，以扩大我们关于综合医学方法如何以及是否适用于特定健康状况的知识基础。
