Pediatric Injury Research Training Program

 描述(由申请人提供)：华盛顿大学儿科损伤研究培训计划的目标是培养和维持一支受过跨学科培训的调查人员队伍，他们将对减少伤害造成的损失进行严格的研究。博士后研究员将从不同的学科招募，并通过指导研究经验、小组研讨会和华盛顿大学的研究生课程工作进行培训，以发展解决伤害控制所涵盖的广泛问题所需的分析和研究方法的强大背景。这一培训计划的具体目标是：1.从国家申请者库中招聘和培训优秀研究员，并关注临床和学术背景、社会经济地位、种族、民族和性别的多样性。2.为受训者提供平衡的伤害控制课程以及研究方法技能，特别是那些通常没有接受过伤害研究培训的个人。3.营造一个有导师的学习环境，这些导师不仅提供实际和相关的研究经验，而且作为受训人员的教师、研究人员和临床医生的榜样，可以帮助受训人员在受训计划之外进行安置，以支持职业发展。为了满足损伤研究方面的培训需求，我们为博士后医学博士、医学博士或博士后学员开发了独特的跨学科儿科损伤研究培训计划，该计划建立在我们强大和成熟的港景损伤预防和研究中心计划的基础上。伤害中心有四个重点研究领域：创伤性脑损伤，特别关注年轻人的脑震荡；创伤护理，特别是针对年龄范围两端的人；安全交通，特别关注青少年驾驶及其因酒精、药物或电子设备而分心的损害；以及暴力，包括虐待儿童、亲密伴侣暴力和青少年暴力。为了实现这些目标，我们有几个具体目标：1.从不同的国家申请者库中招募优秀的申请者。2.通过严格的研究生级核心课程提供广泛的方法知识和技能。3.通过研究指导和重点研究项目提供深入的知识和经验。4.通过项目研讨会、工作进行中的会议和非正式互动，通过一起安置在伤害中心，为同伴互动提供环境。5.在有经验的研究人员和年轻的研究人员之间建立和保持学习和指导关系。6.持续监测每个研究员在实现既定里程碑方面的进展。使研究员为成功的学术生涯做好准备，包括拨款撰写、拨款管理、研究的道德行为、合作研究、项目管理和职业指导。8.对项目本身进行“持续质量改进”。

 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The goal of the University of Washington Pediatric Injury Research Training Program is to create and sustain a cadre of interdisciplinary-trained investigators who will conduct rigorous research on reducing the toll from injuries. Postdoctoral fellows will be recruited from a variety of disciplines and trained through mentored research experiences, small group seminars, and graduate coursework at the University of Washington to develop a strong background in the analytic and research methodologies required to tackle the broad spectrum of issues encompassed by injury control. The specific aims of this training program are to: 1. Recruit and train outstanding fellows from a national applicant pool with attention to diversity in clinical and academic backgrounds, socioeconomic status, race, ethnicity and gender. 2. Provide trainees with a well-balanced curriculum in injury control along with methodological skills in research, especially individuals who have typically not been trained in injury research. 3. Foster a learning environment with mentors who not only provide practical and relevant research experience but also serve as role models for the trainee as teachers, researchers, and clinicians and can assist the fellow with placement beyond the trainee program to support career development. To meet the demand for training in injury research, we have developed a unique interdisciplinary Pediatric Injury Research Training Program for postdoctoral MD, MD-PhD, or PhD trainees that builds upon our strong and well-established Harborview Injury Prevention and Research Center program. The Injury Center has four focus areas of research: traumatic brain injury (TBI) with a special focus on concussions in youth; trauma care, especially for those at either end of the age spectrum; safe transport, with a special focus on young driving and their impairment by alcohol, drugs, or distracted by electronic devices; and violence, including child abuse, intimate partner violence, and youth violence. To achieve these aims, we have several specific objectives: 1. Recruit outstanding applicants from a diverse national applicant pool. 2. Provide breadth of methodological knowledge and skills through a rigorous graduate-level core curriculum. 3. Provide depth of knowledge and experience through research mentorship and focused research projects. 4. Provide an environment for peer interaction through program seminars, work-in-progress sessions, and informal interactions by virtue of being housed together at the Injury Center. 5. Establish and maintain learning and mentoring relationships between experienced researchers and young investigators. 6. Continuously monitor each fellow's progress toward defined milestones.7. Prepare fellows for a successful academic career, including grant writing, grant administration, the ethical conduct of research, collaborative research, project management, and career mentorship. 8. Engage in "continuous quality improvement" for the program itself.
