Clinical Research & Epidemiology in Diabetes & Endocrinology

描述（由申请人提供）： 约翰霍普金斯大学医学院名为糖尿病和内分泌学临床研究和流行病学的培训补助金正在申请其第一次竞争性更新，已经完成了3. 5年的资助。培训计划的目标是提供新一代的临床研究人员，接受临床研究和流行病学工具的培训，准备追求富有成效，成功的职业糖尿病和内分泌学研究。为了实现这一目标，该计划汇集了两个强大的部门：内分泌和代谢（医学部）和韦尔奇预防，流行病学和临床研究中心。（医学系和公共卫生学院）。从这些不同的群体和公共卫生学院人类营养中心选出了15名导师。导师是根据他们公认的专业知识、研究生产力和表现出的指导技能挑选的。从大量合格的申请者中选出三名博士预科生和两名博士后研究员。他们有教学课程的工作，在博士课程和大多数博士后研究员加入临床研究的研究生培训计划（GTPCI）注册的前博士。在每一种情况下，学员都与导师配对，进行密集的研究指导。约翰霍普金斯的研究环境被认为是杰出的，有一系列的会议，研究数据库，GCRC，最重要的是一个优秀的教师。在培训补助金的第一年，我们已经证明，我们有优秀的候选人池，博士后成功地参加了GTPCI，并实施了一个有凝聚力的培训计划。我们的学员在培训补助金期间一直富有成效，我们相信他们将继续从事富有成效的职业。教师，包括年轻的导师，在学术上取得了进展，并在很大程度上保持稳定。增加了几名新的导师，取代了已经晋升到高级行政职位的导师。我们认为，我们有申请人和计划的地方，以证明增加一个博士后研究员，共三个前博士和三个博士后池。总而言之，我们将两个经常分开但极其互补和极其重要的学科结合在一起。我们已经把这些学科带给了我们的第一代学员。我们相信，我们已经有一个非常成功的开始，在这个独特的计划，并准备继续它在一个稍高的受训人数。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The training grant titled Clinical Research and Epidemiology in Diabetes and Endocrinology at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine is applying for its first competitive renewal, having completed 3.5 years of funding. The goal of the training program is to provide a new generation of clinical investigators, trained with the tools of clinical research and epidemiology, ready to pursue productive, successful careers diabetes and endocrinology research. To accomplish this goal, the program brings together two strong divisions: the Division of Endocrinology and Metabolism (Department of Medicine) and the Welch Center for Prevention, Epidemiology and Clinical Research. (Department of Medicine and School of Public Health). Fifteen mentors have been chosen from these diverse groups and from the Center on Human Nutrition, School of Public Health. The mentors are selected on the basis of their recognized expertise, research productivity and demonstrated mentoring skills. Three pre-doctoral students and two post-doctoral fellows are selected from a large number of qualified applicants. They have didactic course work, pre-docs enrolled in the doctoral program and most post-doc fellows joining the Graduate Training Program in Clinical Investigation (GTPCI). In each case, trainees are matched with mentors for intensive research mentoring. The research environment at Johns Hopkins is considered outstanding, with a series of conferences, research data bases, a GCRC, and above all an excellent faculty. In the first years of the training grant, we have demonstrated that we have the pool of outstanding candidates, that the post-docs successfully enrolled in the GTPCI, and that a cohesive training program was implemented. Our mentees have been productive in their time on the training grant, and we believe they will go on to productive careers. The faculty, including the younger mentors, has progressed academically, and remained largely stable. Several new mentors are added, replacing mentors who have risen to high level administrative positions. We feel that we have the pool of applicants and the program in place to justify an addition of one more post-doctoral fellow, to a total of three pre-docs and three post-docs. In sum, we have brought together two often separated but extremely complementary and extremely important disciplines. We have brought these disciplines to our first generation of trainees. We believe that we have had a very successful start in this unique program, and are ready to continue it at a slightly higher number of trainees.
